What do you see when you look at me? It is me! I am here! Look closely.
See pass the white spots from my head to my feet.
You see only the paleness on my skin that makes me unique,
But do you see the me that I am how beautiful, exceptional, and deep
instead of what I will surely transform to be?
See my eyes so clear, so focused non-hesitantly
on what the meaning of life is truly supposed to be.
What do you see when you look at me?
you observe the white patches on my face, arms, legs and feet
as I journey though my life stepping strong and firmly.
Are you afraid to look to see the real me and all that is there,?
The warmth , love, strength yet vulnerability .
One thing I will say to you who sit judge, sneer and tease,
I’m a better me, better being, then you will ever grow to be
and I say this to you with certainty!
