What I am, What you see
February 6, 2023
I AM is not the same as I SEE
Because,
I AM insecure
I AM pain
I AM depressed
I AM screaming, tears rushing down my face
I AM everything you don’t look at, in me
What I am is NOT what you see
Because,
You SEE happy
You SEE confident
You SEE laughing, happy tears forming in my eyes
You SEE healed
You SEE nothing wrong
You see everything I’m NOT
I sometimes wonder
Maybe YOU and I are the same,
We put on a SHOW for each other
You and I are ACTING in a play,
What if…
You are a MIRROR to Me
and
I am a MIRROR to You
What WE see is not always what’s deep inside
What I am and what YOU see
What YOU are and what I see
May not be the same for each other
I may never know

I wrote this after I had a mental breakdown. THis piece makes me really think about what you are may not be what I see.
