See you

Can you tell me
What you see
If you look into my eyes?
Do you find me
Scared,
Or lost,
Forgotten,
Or without hope?
Do you see
Someone
Who loves
And bleeds
In the same pace
As life?
Do you think me
Young
And careless,
With no regard
For the world?
Do you see
That my feelings matter?

I have not been waiting to be acknowledged by you,
Or maybe perhaps just a little, at one time.
If I keep waiting for respect, I might wait a long time.
But know this and take it home with you.
I see you. I have always seen you.
