I am what they call strange,
What they don’t understand,
A man that leaves his eyes alone,
Away from my eyelashes,

So I cant see what I want,
What I fear,
The tips of lanes,
As they broaden their shoulders
From corner to corner,

The pain of seeing those around me,
The idea that were the same,
That my eyes see valleys
Already discovered by those
That thinks their thoughts
Mean something deeper,
Something steeper.

I squeeze my arm,
Just so I can feel
What it’s like to be someone,
A body that has a soul,
A sneeze that leaves me,

A skin that bleeds,
Hoping that I bleed
A color that doesn’t run
With the red bulls.

It’s a walk alone,
A walk with millions,

A walk that won’t separate me.

"A man that leaves his eyes alone,
Away from my eyelashes,"

Do you now How I felt when I read this after I just wrote a minutes ago that you seemed had a another eye seeing things for you because you use "stare" a lot? (went to the Archives to read some of your poems)

"I squeeze my arm,
Just so I can feel
What it’s like to be someone,
A body that has a soul,
A sneeze that leaves me,"

how interesting to say like this.

another beautiful poem.

Thank you for the responses.  Tom, happy to see you respect my writings.  

I do use the idea of the "eye" or "stare" a lot, I feel as if there is more to the world than "what meets the eye," which is why I believe in another set of eyes, another universe I wish I could see, but I can't, enough ramblings.  Happy you enjoyed, take it easy.
