Can it be seen

I can't read people

Is it my own ego going flipity flap

In the wind of my own hot air

Are my eyes closed shut

So tight I can't see past

My own despair

Those tell tale signs

Amongst their lines

Down turned mouths

Hands to brow

Creases that should

Shine on that which is blind

And open 

My minds eye to 

Compassionate 

Vs

Desecrate

One souls suffering

To my own

Understanding people is difficult, but I should not despair about this and your limitations to understand them. Most I think just want to be noticed not understood, whatever they can do or say to stand out from the crowd.

I disagree with that. I think the majority of people nowadays DON'T wma to be noticed, they DON'T want what those approaching them so eagerly thin is help, and would love for people to mind their own business, which I have to say, is something people can't seem to do for a lack of integrity.

...of course, I am aware there are others who vehemently disagree...but again, that is because they have some perverse diversion that prohibits them from seeking the peace they want from within.

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "

I like this. It shows that

I like this. It shows that you obviously are aware, and you definitely see...but you choose not to try to change people, which is smart. ....because you can't. Use your energy for those who are like minded. People come around in their own time, or they don't come around. And no matter how willing you are to bend and be flexible to meet their needs, they aren't going to change because of it.
