When you look into my eyes
what exactly do you see?I wonder if I'm displaying an image I would recognize as meDo you navigate past the eyes Then travel into the soulFor a glimpse of all the treasures I try my best to withholdThere's more than what meets the eyeYou can not judge this book by his coverI wear a poker face but underneath hides a lovera brother and best frienda son and leader of menthe type of person you meet once and will never forget againMy loved ones ask me why I construct multiple wallsThat only serve the purpose of concealing my deepest thoughtsI say, I want to see who's willing to scale despite the risk of a fallWho's curiosity will have their mind, body & soul searching for moreMy walls are not in place to feed a big ego I've actually given too much to some peopleHeart was on the sleeveEmotions pinned to the collarGave a few the benefit of the doubtIgnoring my inner shoutsI've become a little more selective of what the people seeI appreciate the ones who actually get to know meThat read between the lines to understand how I tickThat see the things I choose to reveal as not a given but a gift Something that's precious that not everyone gets to seeWhen I share these things with you I'm sharing a part of me
