Decieving eyes

My Favorite Poems

I walk through life putting myself down,



Wondering why I can't be perfect.



Wondering why I am not beautiful.



People tell me that I am, though I can sence the deceit in their voice.



I dont want people to pitty me.



I dont want them to lie to me.



I want the truth.



I know what I am and I am not ashamed to admit it.



Though I become confused when people tell me otherwise.



I get stressed and angered when people do not think the same as me.



I wonder if I am the one who is wrong.



I wonder if all that I have seen has been a lie?



Then why do I feel that I have seen the truth?



Why do I become depressed when I look in the mirror?



Can you honestly tell me that I am wrong?



Can you honestly tell me that I am beautiful?



You can say it,



But I dont believe that you will be honest.



After you see me,



After I open up,



I want you to tell me



That I am beautiful.



Because I will know that it is a lie.



Unless,



For my entire life,



I have been living with,



Decieving Eyes.
