I wonder what people see when they look at me.
how do they perceive me?
it doesn't matter much but curiosity
catches me and drags me in
when I look at people
I see all the good they are
and can be
I see the beautiful smile within
do people see that when they look at me?
or do the see all the demons trying to eat me
steadily and slowing breathing on my neck
wishing I would crack and let them reign
is that something people see
or do they see me beyond that?
do I want to know the answer
or will curiosity kill the cat
so much that
satisfaction won't bring me back...
