More Colors Than the Naked Eye Can See

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
