INSIDE THE HEART OF ME
I’ve often wondered what others see
When they look into the heart of me
Do they see a soul screaming to be loved?
An empty space, abandoned, longing to be filled,
Or do they stop short at the smile on my face
Missing the agony in eyes hurt and disgraced?
Do people bother to look past the surface,
into the core of the human spirit?
Is it too much work to actually see
What truly lies in the heart of me?
When they look into the heart of me
Do they see a soul screaming to be loved?
An empty space, abandoned, longing to be filled,
Or do they stop short at the smile on my face
Missing the agony in eyes hurt and disgraced?
Do people bother to look past the surface,
into the core of the human spirit?
Is it too much work to actually see
What truly lies in the heart of me?

Very nice, I have also asked myself the same question, and no most dont have enough depth to see the soul.

I enjoy reading the inner thoughts, the ones that come from the heart, spirit, and soul, so thank you for being in touch with your innerself enough to find your words and allow us the honor of reading them. Yes more than should be now a days are very shallow and only think of and pay attention to themself. If one is open to their innerself they will see that the eyes truely are windows to your soul, and then you can see a glimps of the past and present in anothers eyes. Unfortunallity some people dont care enough to look beyond the books cover.
