Poem: What Do You See?



...another poem of pondering life...






What Do You See?


What do you see when you look at me?
Does my spirit show?
Is it shining through?

Or is it buried beneath layers of apathy?
Have I lost sight of what is real
- of what is true?

Tell me, I implore, my friend.
Do you see love and feelings there?

…Enthusiasm and joy for living?
…Or, are my heart and my soul - frigid and bare?

Have I relinquished, to whims of others,
myself - my individuality?

From my vantage point it’s hard to determine,
just, precisely, how much is left of me!
