I am

No matter the situation, sometimes you just want to be seen.
I like this.
Thanks for the read:)

GBM: If only she would open her eyes. She would see a sacred soul. A man who lives to please others. A man who gives love to all those he meets. I see you as that man. If she does not, then she deserves less. :)

Some one who can't see what the other person is must be emotionally blind.Its a sign of ungratefulnes when a person wants more than the all that is been given.well put Atro.

People are only blind to those who can't see. Thant you for the comment.

I'm not sure about the rest but I always have great poem

I don't think anyone ever sees us for who and what we really are because they cannot. They just make assumptions and we try to meet those assumptions or run away from them never really discovering the truth. I think what you are is more precious than you or anyone else could ever imagine. Maybe when everyone sees this in themselves the world will be a better place.

You certainly have gifted poetical skills.  But I sense a kind of confusion in your poem, maybe intentional, to fit in with the poem's theme, prehaps unintentional: In the second stanza you say: "I could be anything you want me to be." Then in the next stanza you note: "I can't be what you want."  Does this indicate confusion in your very self, for their is confusion in everyone's self, which is why we wear a mask of various sorts or possess what Carl Jung called "the Shadow Side."  You have an excellent poem in the making here, but, to me, you need to be a bit more subtle and clarify the distinctions within your self more realistically.  Finally the "just maybe you need to find someone else" could make you sound like an elitist or even lacking in compassion, which you are not (partly because she doesn't understand the complexity, wholism of you.)  Is there really love between you both?  The poem doesn't say.  In fact it "implies" the opposite.  But no one can "know" another (which is why they are called "the other, so says Sartre).  What's wrong with that, it adds to the mystery of who we are?

People will only see the "you" that you want them to see, unless they care enough to look further. If they do look to see the "real you," then they should care enough to stay with you and not care who or what you are. I can relate because of experience right now... but they will only see the "real you" if you allow them to.  

This is a good poem. But I feel that the opening is the strongest part. The rest of the poem is good, but I don't think it has the drives that the first stanza does. I hope people are able to see you for you. Keep being you.

I know this poem was about me.. I do see you.. You told me when I told you I would forget you .. you died inside.. What can I see if its all dead.. Ive always told you.... NEVER let your life circle someone else..even if it was me..
