What do you see when you look at me?

Can you tell where i've been or what I can be?

As you look at my face is there even a sign?

That could give you one glimpse in to thoughts only mine?

From my height or physique can you begin to tell?

Whether my emotions are pleasant or if my life is just hell?

Maybe I'm stronger or inside i'm a mess.

But that's something you can't observe in the patterns of my dress.

Maybe I'm smart and as bright as a fire.

Though my hair and my eyes are superficial things you admire.

Your eyesite seems good, but can you really see?

What do you know from looking at me?
