You are what you see

Eyes of mine do not deceive me,1

Do not destroy my breaking sight,2

I cannot see the world for its being,3

Yet i know it is always night.4

I cannot see the moon and the stars,5

Glisten in the black shadow of night,6

But i hear the cries of children suffering,7

And pain that's ongoing.8

I cannot see the beauty of your face,9

Yet i can hear the soft tone in your voice,10

I can feel the smoothness of your skin,11

Brush past me when I am alone.12

My eyes deceive me of what i see,13

I don't know night from day,14

All i hear is the cries of people,15

who are going to die today.16

I hear the torture of people who are trapped,17

I listen to their pleas,18

But these people they will not stop,19

They get what they say they "need"20

I cannot see their faces,21

But inside them is a heart of coldstone,22

It lies in place of love,23

Neglected, cold and alone.24

My eyes cannot see the beauty outside,25

They cannot see the trouble the earth is in,26

I could sit back and do nothing,27

Say nothing,28

Be nothing, 29

Then give in.30

Why should i stop helping, just cause I'm at a disadvantage?31

Why should people treat me different?32

Am i not a person or human?33

Just because i am unique in some ways,34

Yet surely aren't we all.35

My eyes deceive me of what i see,36

Yet i know you better than all.37

You wish to hurt and scar me,38

Other people die  everyday,39

We are all selfish and ungrateful,40

But no-one will admit this ever.41

My eyes they cannot see,42

They cannot see the destruction,43

they cannot see the pain,44

They can only hear the agony,45

Which people cry in vain.46

My eyes they cannot see, 47

My ears can hear, my mouth can speak.48

You may think i don't you at all,49

Just because i don't see you,50

You should think,51

Maybe i know you better than you all.52

For beauty is on the inside,53

And is something you can't see, 54

Only i can see!!55

    its supose to be personal to show that people see more with their eyes open. I am saying i use to be blind to what people said or did, but know i can see it better and clearer, and people are doing what i use to do rather than seeing what it truely there Just so you understand
