Take Another Look

When you look into my eyes
What do you see?
Do you see me?
Or do you see what you wanna see?
Do you see the man that I am trying to be?
Or do you see what everyone else seems to see?
Maybe if you took another look
A deeper look
You would see what I'm trying to show
And not see the image of what other people think they know

O.K., I had to re-write this one. While I don't think it shows the truth that 1st Impression reveals, it read better for me the second and third times. And where is your recent work? Come on, Ken. 2008 is half over; get posting!

I like the way you turned it around from an introspective position to a readers contemplation. Clever and thought provoking.

To many people dont look as they should, and never see the truth.

Deep, right on point and vivid. Thanks for sharing.

Some tend to judge or get caught up in their shallow
view of people. I have been inside
those eyes and can relate to this poem.
I really like it.
