I realized something1
It just came to me2
That life is more3
Than the naked eye can see4
There are more colors5
Than that which does shimmer6
in the wide eyes of strangers7
Where the reflected world does glimmer8
And as I gaze deep9
Within the pupils of your eyes10
I see what you see11
I see a reflection of me12
But do you too see me13
The same ways I see myself14
Or do I reside in your mind15
High up on some dusty shelf?16
And if that is so17
If I do mean so little to you18
Then I'll spread my white wings, you ugly crow19
And I'll fly away, a peace bringing dove20
Into the world, up in the sky21
Where I'm raised so high22
Whilst you wither below23
In the wind, to and fro24
But if in through your eyes25
True colors do show26
You'll spare me the hurt, and all of the lies27
Because now you've proven28
You're worth my time
Author notes
theres no real rhyme scheme, but there is at least 1 pair of rhymes in each stanza... it was just me kind free flowing and letting out some random emotional mix i had goin on... i was feelin pretty poetic
well..?

This is cool, I find overly rigid rhyme schemes can totally destroy the mood of a poem. Even though your rhyme scheme wasn't exact, there was never a word that sounded out of place, and it definitely had a good flow. I really like it
