Do you see me?
Can you look into my eyes
and say you've seen true beauty?
My life is only a second long,
and there is so much beauty around me.
It overwhelms my souls,
to the point that I can no longer breathe.
I want to make a difference,
and I want to go unnoticed.
I want to be myself,
and I want you to see me for who I really am.
It seems the more I live,
the longer I have to be alive.
That seems logical.
But I think that
you don't really have to be alive for long
to live alot.
I want to be simple,
and I want to be true.
And until things are simple,
until they're true,
there's nothing that I can do.
I can accomplish nothing,
I'm forced to be a prisoner of my own eyes.
I'll watch all the beauty,
until it too passes me by,
but one day,
the only thing that will matter
is simplicity and honesty.
Then I will become beautiful.
I will have my chance to be what I am,
and you'll be able to see.
You'll be able to look into my eyes
and know you've see true beauty.
You will see me. |
