Look at me what do you see? who am I I am not sure take a better look I ask this of you but do you know why?
Look at me deep inside not just my face my heart I feel seem to be in the right place,
Look at me lots of curly hair on top of my head my eyes wide open and blue can you tell by looking what my life has been through?
Look at me not the shape of my hips or how small or big is my breast but by my kindness to people at best,
Look at me see there is a few wrinkles on my face and hands I don't like to look it certainty was not my plan,
Look at me my feet long and narrow today I painted my toe nails painted blue instead of red, so do you think this is me it still really not or could it be,
Look at me my Bible in hand as I pray to the God do you understand is this me? A Christian woman come follow me to this land,
Look at me some days a poet but most days a daughter who take care of her mother a sister to my bother a Aunt who was raised a farm girl this is my world,
Look at me what do you see?

About this poem:
I wrote this poem because I get so many email from men who just keep saying you have a pretty face. They don't see me or even care who I am Just my face.
