Look Through My Eyes

by Lamika Thomas

Look through my eyes

Past the color

Past the white

What do you see?

I have no pigment

I have not shape

I exist independently

Without this shell, you call me!

There are so many things I want to say

Opinions and outlooks that will blow your mind

Creativity, optimism, and uniqueness

But, do you see me?

I have no hair

I have no face

I exist independently

Without this body, you call me

There is so much to contribute

Much to share

If you would just listen and look past my eyes

Into my soul

Hello there, nice to meet you!
