Look me in the Eyes - br For I am a blank slate, br Waiting for your words; br Speak to my tender soul, br And enlighten me of my worth. br br Looking to you I believe – br That truth must flow freely; br Making you all powerful, br To a loving, trusting child, br Prepared to be good or bad. br br Make me worthless now – br Flowing words of disdain, br Cutting deeply into my heart. br Would you not see the scars? br A bad child grows into pain. br br Or build me up with love – br Speaking with gentle kindness; br Guiding me into self-awareness. br Would you do that for me? br A good child grows into beauty.
