see

when I look into your eyes I see the world
I see the stars
I see those tiny specks of light shimmering against the dark background
I see the pain
I see the shame
I see everything that broke you before
I see your will to overcome the demons
that haunt you when night falls
i see the struggles,the sacrifices
everything you have gone through to make them fade
when I look at you,
I see your dreams and your aspirations
the reason you live and the things you hope to achieve
I can see your scars
carefully hidden under the light veneer of happiness
I can see you
