I see....

I see
I see the flames of anger
Simmering deep within
I see the tears of pain
Drenching the fire within
I see the smirk of nonchalance
Words spoken but in parlance
I see the eyes flitting about
Trepidity or seeking balance?
I see a hand raised forward
An embrace or a distance?
I see the body taut
The struggle to be what it is not
I see
and yet I don't see
The love that it holds within.
