Do you really know me <br />The person I can be <br />Can you see through these eyes <br />If you could, what would you see? <br />Can you feel my emotions <br />do you judge me by my smile <br />o r the sparkle of my eyes <br />just come inside awhile <br />do you know when i am happy <br />can you feel it when i am sad <br />or when i am not feeling well <br />and times when I am mad <br />do you know what makes me happy? <br />would you treat me like a friend <br />can you feel my frustration <br />from the signals that i send <br />Do I appear as a mystery <br />someone you try to figure out <br />does my existence seem hopeless <br />are your perceptions filled with doubt <br />Do you feel empathy for the things I cannot <br />do? <br />If you truly look inside yourself <br />this might apply to you <br />If you really want to know me <br />Take a few steps in my shoes <br />teat me as you treat yourself <br />respecting all points of view <br />Be flexible and kind to me <br />and you will find your way <br />respect me for the person I am <br />each and every day <br />The biggest reward in knowing <br />is in finding out who you will be <br />Just take a look inside yourself <br />and you will find a part of me<br /><br />William Lindenmuth<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-different-point-of-view-5/
