open

when you look at me what do you see?

A girl with round cheeks
soft features
green eyes
dark hair
full brows
straight teeth
pink lips
connected earlobes
light beige skin
blemishes here and there
faded dimple

or do you see the story
the moments of joy
sadness
knowledge
innocence
experiences

do you see the love had
having
in

do you see the scars, burns, conditioning
the hope or lack of

do you see a shell
or more

what do you see when you look
deeper
at others

do you see yourself
