SEE ME

Please see me.

Not the thoughts in your head.

Only seeing me through your twisted lens.

I tried to tell you.

Told you it was different.

But you took my tears,

refused my pain.

Then told me

I was the reason.

For my lack of gain.

Through a million daggers

And searing pain.

I’ll make sure to add you to the game.

Where I escape the flame of your own-

internal pain.

Instead;

I’ll remove my lens.

I will hold your pain.

I will tell you to hold out and reclaim your gain.

Then I will rest in the knowing-

that I saw you.

And I will celebrate

because I see me too.

For vindication is grace.

I rest my case.
