Look at me
What do you see?
I am a friend
A sister
A daughter
I am anyone
I am everyone
And I am no one at all
I am the greatest actress in the world
No one can tell
No one knows me
I am the greatest illusionist in the world
I cast my magic
You see what I want you to
You see not what I bid hidden
I am
Yet I am not
For I am an actress
And an illusionist
Please
Look at me
Tell me what you see
Please
Help me
Please

what do I SEE? My that's quite easy someone just like me! We all tend to hide ourselve's from the world, in one way or another. Though what we should do is strive to be ourselve's sometimes that is the most hardest thing of all. Very good write.

I see someone through these words that is perhaps tired of pretending to be what they are not.  Maybe it is time for a change.  Spring itself is a time of change.  The timing is perfect.  I also see deep expression here.  Wonderful.

All writing comes
by the grace of God.

Peek-a-boo, I see you.  More importantly, I hear you.

Well done!

Live for love. Without love, you don't live.

Loved interloper's reply!  Time to shake off the masks girl, let them go...they will come and they also will see!  Great poem and I am sure a lot of people can relate.

When spring is dancing among the hills,
one should not stay in a little dark corner

Nicely written, easy to relate to.  Try not to hide, people can help you see.

Yesterday's history, tomorrow's a mystery, and today is a gift. That's why they call it the present.

Showing who we are is one of the hardest things we have to do. Thank for sharing yourself with us!
