She looked at me,
Past my outer shell,
Past what was visible,
Into the invisible,
She saw I wasn’t free,
Saw what no one else could tell,
Gentle and affable,
She saw the unmistakable,
But she simply said,
I know what you’re going through,
I know you’re not happy,
I see this is affecting you,
Take my advice,
Do what I do,
I’ve paid that same price,
I see you.
No one else understood,
Until that point I was knocking on wood,
Hoping someone would see
The hurting inside of me,
But she did what no one else could,
Like only a mother only would,
She saw past the layers of confidence,
Saw my pain and its very essence,,
She simply said,
I know what you’re going through,
I know you’re not happy,
I see this is affecting you,
Take my advice,
Do what I do,
I’ve paid that same price,
So I see you.
I’ve met her once before,
I still don’t know her name,
Overlooked my aft and fore,
She saw my hurt and shame
She gave me my avatar moment,
Saw what I was guarding fiercely,
My stranger; God sent,
That’s how she touched me.
