Seein’

I see you struggle to see something

but I believe you see it all

I believe you can see everything

where no one sees anything

I believe you’re able to bring poetry

where fire has only left ashes

I believe you’re able to bring beauty

where ugliness has scratched faces

I believe you have something deep within you

that no one else can see

however, you may feel you’re crazy

but crazy people are the best out there

Everyone is blind trying to see whiteness in the dark

when you’re able to see gray

you’re able to hold ying and yang in one hand

you’re able to see that there’s something out there

Deep within everyone there is something

that not everyday shows up

however, you bring it to the surface

with that magic of yours

You may think that this is madness

but there is something deep within yourself

something that brings innocence and mystery

something I cannot read

You’re an open book with no letters

you’re a pen with no ink

however, you’ve said everything a book has to read

and you’ve written everything a pen has to write

And in the end, please, believe me

that I believe you see it all

I believe you can see magic

where everybody else seems to see emptiness.
