If You Look At Yourself Through Their Eyes... Poem by M. Asim Nehal

If you look at yourself through their eyes
you will probably see yourself black or white
to them you are just a colourful display
they see you in shapes, areas and race

They'll see you in colours beyond compare,
and your identity won't be a rainbow to bear,
for every hue that paints their sight,
reflects a facet of your plight.

To some you are a fiery red,
passionate, fierce, and boldly led,
while others see in you a calming blue,
tranquil, serene, with a soothing view.

Some see you like a puzzle made of many shapes,
a slave of others who will never escape,
to them, you're a wonder to behold,
a masterpiece with stories untold.

You can be proud of yourself or embarrassed
do you ponder on this matters at all
stop seeing yourself from their point of view
you are unique, while they are different from you.
