If eyes could see 👀 Poem

If eyes could see into the soul:

If eyes are windows to the soul

Faces wouldn’t tell half the story no matter how they look

Even if tears are a river

smiles mask the truth

Love and understanding can uncover a person’s rich soul

Am I afraid to see just how tainted I’ve become

It’s possible that I may feel this way

The years that built tears and subsequent shame

Let it all slowly drain away

A knife slicing away at my identity, Leeching away what was most valuable

Leaving the pieces crumbled and meaningless.

As I sit here at my lowest peaks
