The Wondering Mind

what Do You See

What do you see? 

Do you see the battles that have been raging inside that head for weeks?

Do you see tired eyes and broken hope?

Tell me what do you see?

Do you see the broken wings and shattered hearts?

Do you see the battle scares littering the brain, the soul?

Or do you see the warrior standing in front of you smiling?

You see weathered hands gentle as a feather.

You see a tender and strong love coming in like a morning tide never once faltering.

You see what they want you to see. everyone has their own battles to face and that's something that is quickly forgotten.

You see a smile but miss the spark that's faded from the eyes.

You see cheery attitudes but miss the hollow soul residing within.

Kindness goes a long way friend remember that because you never know what you've missed in a person who only shows you what they want you to see. 

A friend, a coworker, a stranger we all have battles that we all get tired from them sometimes a little kindness or a simple smile goes farther than you'd ever imagine.
