Can You See?

Looking at this portrait, reflection of me
Eyes revealing the window to the soul
Inner depths that lie buried beneath facade and fear
Are the only understanding I can give for playing this role

Sometimes it's seems like more has to be hidden
Than told, it's all a matter of protection
Yet, buried truths are the only means
That can guide and lead in the way of perfection

This road to destination
Trying to be guided in the right direction
And every image captured before my eyes
Means seeing the world through a veil of discretion

And the camera's flash snaps again
Frozen in time is another moment, for good or bad
At least I have the memories to be reminded of
And despite the heartache, I am still glad

So look into these eyes
And tell me what you see
Be careful, go too deep
And you just may see the real me.
