When I Look at You


When I Look at You by Savanna Morgan

When I look at you I see a blind, incoherent fool

Because aren't we all

Do we not build up our own houses, then 

due to no foundation we fall.

When you look at me you see 

Smiles, happiness, treasures

But take a closer look

and you will see doubt, pride, and foolery

We're holding each other to an untouchable pedestal

Which is radical to the reason why

judgement is practical.

If you can see my sinner's dues,

be aware that I am just like you
