Do You See? Poem by Rian Pongratz

Do you see what I see everyday?
See the pain that I see in your eyes?
Do you see what you don't think I see?
See the tears you're too scared to let fall?

Do you see what I want you to let me see?
See the fear and the rejection that you hide?
Do you see what I want to know?
See the love and kindness that you need to show?

That's what I see when I look at you.
Why don't you ever let your best friends see?
I only have one question for you:
Do you see? Do you see at all?
