When the world look in my eyes.
They see only darkness.
But when I look through my eyes.
I see a whole new world.
I see the tree's as my escape.
I see the sky as a never ending warrior, since it can hold the sun.
I see the ocean as so peaceful until it swallows you whole.
I see hell as a place for people who are different.
I see a storm as a peaceful way to think.
I see black as a color of love.
I see pink as a color of hate.
And I see you as one more person living in this world.
But when you look at me all you see is a girl.
A girl standing... and living in peace.

The author's comments:
This poem is just about how even though all people see when they look into my eyes is a color, if they would look through them they would experience a new world. So many of us see a person and think they must be normal or boring... but sadly you will never know that that is the one person in the world you should have stopped and talked to.
