Don't Look At Me

Don't Look At Me

Karyn Indursky

 

Don't look at me
absent-mindedly.
Don't stare at me
with hollow images.
Don't glare at me
when I haven't said or did anything to you.
Don't laugh as you look at me
as though I'm a living joke.
Don't look at me
like I'm an outcast.
Don't look at me
as you do everyone else.

See me
for me.
I'm female, but not every female.
I'm blonde with blue eyes, but not a stereotype.
I'm funny, but not a joke.
I'm here, but not just another face in the crowd.
I'm speculating, but not an outcast.
I'm solid, not a hallow being.
There's more to me than just what you see.

Get to know me, but, don't just look at me.
