Am I the only one who can see
The only one with this ability
But it’s not a skill, barely a try
Just to open your eyes
You can see the world in its demise
You can see every lie
You see who they are
Instead from afar
I can see her now
She gets kicked down
But the scars that are shown
Are from hands her own
Or she is a girl
Thinks herself a pearl
Among the dirt
And never think of how they hurt
Or you place a crown atop your head
Think yourself a leader not to be lead
You try to beat and outlast
Or you’ll end up with a knife in the back
Or you’re an ignorant fool
Held back by others rules
You let yourself get kicked around
But refuse to go down
What am I
Am I simply shy
No
I refuse to let my black wings show
To those who know me best
Are strangers like the rest
As they kick me down they don’t see
The true monster in me
If I were you I would beware
I would take great care
For a black angel
Isn’t good nor evil
When I see him
My face turns grim
For I look away
Unable to stay
I can’t see who he is
I see light that’s his
Or its darkness
Whatever it is I do not witness
What do you see
Do you see me
Will you open your eyes
Or give into lies
