They Look At Me

by Cuddles   Dec 7, 2005


They look at me and they see beauty.
They look at me and they see smiles.
They look at me and they see fitness.
They look at me and they see health.
They look at me and they don't see sagging eyes.
They look at me and they don't see burning hate.
They look at me and they don't hear stomach growls.
They look at me and they don't see lack of nutrition.

I look at them and I see their starving soul.
I look at them and I see their thirst for life.
I look at them and I see their hollow eyes.
I look at them and I see their fragile bones.
But then again I look at them and I see hopes.
I look at them and I see wistful dreams.
I look at them and I see hearts of love.
I look at them and I see what I used to see in me.
