7) Look Up

We pass each other

Day after day.

In the hallway, 

On our way to class.


You walk with your head low,

Eyes to the ground.

Not making a sound,

Silently listening, watching.


You think no one pays attention

To your successes,

To your failures, to you

But I do - I do!


All i want is for you

To notice me. To

Pay attention to something

Other than your shoes


Something other than the floor.

Etched with meaningless marks.

Look up for once; look at me!

Let me see your eyes.


Are they full of compassion? 

Hatred? Fear? Anger?

Are they void of emotion?

I want to know.


So please, look up;

At the sky, at the clouds.

View the beauty of the world!

Let me see the reflection of it all

In your eyes.
