You cannot see me
Standing in front of you
Hair, lips, eyes, flesh
You see but you don’t
Eyes focused on aspects of the physical
But this does not exist
It is real
But then again it isn’t real
Look deep
Then you will see
Look further
And your eyes will surpass the flesh curtain
You can’t see the kindness in my heart
Or the true beauty I am and have potential to be
You’ll never know the warmth of my soul
Or the true emotion within me
Standing in front of you
Yet still you can’t truly see me
If flesh is all you see
Then you do not see me
“If flesh is all you see, then you do not see me” –Monica Renata
