Someone Else's Eyes

Someone Else’s Eyes I see them look at me, I’m afraid of what they see. Someone just like them, Someone they don’t know. How can I get it across, How can I let it show? Someone like the rest, Still wishing to be best. I don’t think I can stand, To watch myself anymore. I hope they’re eyes go, Wander to the shore. I’m not who they see, I’m not what they want me to be. I see a sinking soul, Looking out through my eyes. When I look through their eyes, I see someone who never cries. Someone else’s eyes, Someone who really tries. This poem is copyright © to Mike Davidson 1998
