Eyes That See Through You  

I looked in on you,
you peered back at me
there lies the difference.

I see with eyes of depth,
into the soul I try to gaze
for value I am seeking.

Your sight is one sided
shallow is your perception
you need not even speak
your eyes say enough.

I try to sustain my footing
in this shared space but
find the air sickening and
stagnate.  

What passes your tong
does not have any pleasing
attributes, no wonder you
stand alone and shameless.

The prevalent nature I
posses affords clearer insight,
I will always keep seeking
the truths that bind me.

Win you do not! for no
power do you posses, lack
of foresight is what you have
maintained not wisdom.

Time I bid to be on my side
for strength I gain in this
one sided affair called unity.

Wisdom fought for is
untouchable, and puffed
up is your pride which in the  
end you will loose, but
freedom I posses.

Hi Everyone,

Thank you so much for the kind replys, you know some times its so hard to hold everything together, to be the one smiling, to be nice and the do all person, some times I just want to screem, tell people how much they walk all over me, and to the ones that are supose to be the closest are the ones that hurt you the worst, this poem is supose to help me stay strong but some times I find that its very hard to stay firmly grounded. Serenity some times I want to tape my poetry to their forehead and say here read understand don't talk to me until you do, but they don't get it do they (shaking head) thanks again, I needed to come here sometimes I feel like I don't belong in open because of how I feel.

Love, Cerenity

Cerenity,
I loved this poem so strong and certain.
I particularly like
win you do not. I'd have written it in capitals and had it tatooed to his forehead. *smiles*
Be well

Like many who have responded, cerentiy, I, too, know how you feel. I'm not going to put words in your mouth and say who you were writhing this to, but if I'd have written it, it would be dedicated to my father. Anyway... it was a great read. I loved it!

Never give your heart away, it will always come back broken.

Hi Everyone,

Thank you again for your words of kindness, you know I always wake up and tell myself OK this is a new day and I am going to make the best of it and most of the time it works but today the bad half of me says NO I am not going to let you (the other half of my life) destroy this day. Now we will see if I do what I say, man I wish I had some of you others strength right now some of the poems I read hear are filled with such strength and I feel so helpless for the life of me I can not get that needed power to stand on my own two feet agains those I need to, anyway thank you so much and here goes another day in the pit of HELL.

Love, to all of you at lest I can give someone in my life true love and they will not squander it,  Cerenity

Cerenity, powerfully written poem. really enjoyed reading this.

untouchable, and puffed
up is your pride which in the
