Poetry:
See the Art in Me
Can you see past the insecurity, differences, poverty or the pain? Detect my intrinsic value even under a thin layer of shame? Do you think I might be precious, although I am not like you? And my eyes bely a beauty, no matter what my behaviors do? Are you brave enough to step closer to not only look, but see The sketch of what I am not yet But who I want to be… Someone, anyone, please-see the art in me!
Look closely at the poetry scrawled across my face Let your fingers find the meaning in the subtlest trace Peer beyond the limitations that have put me in a box That causes some to look away or to ridicule and mock See the vivid colors on my skin and in my dreams Get to know my innermost by using any means I am potential, aspirations, determination and strength Find out all that I can be, go to any length… Someone, anyone, please-see the art in me!
I am tough, ticklish, challenged and misunderstood I am brilliant, I am forgotten and disregarded-but I try so hard to be good I’ve been shuffled around, fallen through cracks and been pushed aside At times, I am loud and brash but really am just scared inside I’ve been labeled and catalogued, so I’ve learned to be sly Can’t you see that I’m exquisite Even though I may appear sad and often shy?
I crave your acceptance, but am unsure as how that works Will you love me for who I am, with all my many quirks? I cry, I laugh, act uncomprehending and yet I really do Understand that I am a work in progress Like a painting, a poem or sculpture… I am God’s perfect masterpiece Simply beautiful, just like you So someone, everyone, see the art in me!
