Look At Me

Written By: Fizzah Aziz

Look at me,

What do you see?

Look in my eyes, 

Do  they tell a story?

Look at my lips, 

Do you get fooled by the smile?

Listen to my chatter,

The never-ending happy banter,

Ever wonder if what meets the eye is all?

Find me in my solitude, 

Do I still look the happy lark you see?

Listen, and not hear what I say

Do you not glimpse a little something more?

just dig a bit, maybe..

Scratch the surface, a little?

If you still see the gaily, laughing me..

Well, either I ma natural artist,

Or you, another one of them...

Looking but not seeing.

Hearing but not listening.

Being there, but not there at all.

You are one more blinded sympathizer.
