What do you truly see&;#063;

What do you truly see?
By Jonathan Ball

Look into my eyes
Study the faint black lines
Surrounded by slow tear marks
What you see?
You don't see me

Look at my mouth
Searching for the right words to say
Smiling indignantly
What do you see?
You don't see me

Look at my dejected swagger
With shoulders hunched
And head firmly fixed on the floor
What do you see?
You don't see me

Look at my face
Sickened by unhappiness
Looking for a glimmer of hope.
Until you see how sorry I am
You can't see me
