What do you see?

What do you see when you look at me?
Is it my short hair you notice?
Does my mouth draw you attention,
or is it the width of my eyes?

What do you see when you look at me?
Am I a girl in your eyes,
or a blossoming woman?
Do you see a trusted friend?
Am I a potential partner?

What do you see when you look at me?
Can you see my joyful smile
and know it wasn't always possible?
Can you tell I am trying to hide?
Can you see I'm not sure what I'm hiding?

What do you see when you look at me?
Do you see my as respectful and always polite?
Are you aware that at home, I become the next blight?
Can you see how I try to impress strangers
but diss the people that truly matter?

What do you see when you look at me?
Surely you can not see everything.
If you truly saw all that is me
I should think you would turn your back on me...
