look a little deeper

When i look at your face i see a happy person, a person who looks to be having the time of their life. But really whin i look a little deeper i see fear and regret, the one that keeps you up at night thinking and wondering. When i look at the deepest part of your expression i see hatred for the life you live, regret for what you've done, and sorrow for what you have failed to do.

When i look into your eyes i see that you are afraid,afraid to love someone in a way you can't imagine. When i look a little deeper i see your past, your good times and bad, your memories, your fears and your emotions. When i look in the deepest part of your eyes i see love, love burning in your heart wanting so badly to come out, come out to see the world.

When i look at you i don't see what a normal person sees, I see the goodness in you and i see all the good things you've done and the bad, but i also see that you are struggling to live the life you live right now. I do not see it as a weakness but i see it as strength, strength that keeps you living your life.

No matter what we see when we

No matter what we see when we look at others, it can stir emotions within us. It is a matter of how our eyes have been trained to see and what to look for. I love your poem. It reflects your beautiful caring soul. I hope you can find the peace within yourself to see the same greet you with open arms in everything you do, and that you will be able to share your love and kindness with the world. You are special...just like everyone else.  Blessings. ♥ :-))))

...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "
