Nissa Armstrong - This Person

When i look into her eyes
i find things no one ever sees

I see this fear of judgement
that makes her cower at confrontation

I see this hopelessness for the future
that makes her choice her burden alone

i see this desperate need for companionship to make her strong
in this savage world of humans

I see this courage
caged in her thoughts of inferiority

i see her thoughts of abandonment
that makes her cling to almost anyone

i see this devotion to her beliefs
tjat makes her fear dying

and i hate this person that i see
because this person is really me
