I named this poem Untitled #1 because from now on every Friday I have decided to post a poem but the catch is it will be titled Untitled due to the fact that when you read the title of something it kinda helps you decide whether or not you wanna read but if it has no title or is named with a questioning title you're more likely to take a look at it then if the title was a give away to what the poem was about. So heres the first poem:
Do you see what I see?? I see a boy who was once happy but is now depressed and unusually lonely. Do you see it?? I see a girl who is constantly angry and runs to friends for help instead of the people who love her the most. Do you see it?? I see a boy who's gone and isn't coming back because of the way he was treated. Do you see it?? I see a girl who's constantly questioning the loyalty of her friends or if theres any loyalty at all. Do you see it?? I see a boy who's insecurities are not only the result of people around him but also the people he calls family. Do you see it?? I see a boy who's intelligence is overwhelming but is often assumed to be dumb or lazy due to the little effort he puts into his work. Do you see it?? No you don't see it. You don't see it because you only see what you want to see. More than likely this is what you see:
You see a boy who was once happy but who is now quiet and keeps to himself and you have no intentions to ask why because you don't care. You see a girl who has a bad attitude and is always whispering to friends. You see a boy who committed suicide and you'll never know why because you really don't or have seen him as a person just another kid calling himself depressed. You see a boy who's constantly holding his head down as he walks and you don't care why. You see a boy who never does his work no matter how difficult or easy it is you just chalk it up to being lazy instead of taking a moment out of your day to ask a few questions. You don't see what I see because you see only what you want to see and not whats being put in front of you.
**Take the time to look at each individual around you not just stereotype or make assumptions based on how someone acts, looks, or displays emotion. Because everything you see isn't necessarily what's really there.**
