Do you see me?

You come by and say hello
have a conversation before you go
But do you see me?


Or am I just the fool who greets you
as you walk into the room
make you feel like a million stars
no judgement, no scars


Why do you walk past me
right there out on the streets
blatantly shielding your eyes
Do you not want me to see your lie?


Will I make you poor
from the gift of your smile
or will that put a fine line
another wrinkle around your eyes?


But I see you now for what you are
another being with a scar
I hope it makes you feel like a million stars
You, another being, with the scar
