I See You.

To whom it may concern,

Today I saw you on Facebook, twitter and among other social networks.
I saw you today with so and so and who's who.
You signed-in, checked out, logged on and logged off.
but I see you.

Today, I saw you break up a friendship, a relationship, a bond.
Flinging phrases and sentences that cut deep and sting, Leaving scars of repeat.

I saw you lonely and confused, angry and unsatisfied.
You lashed out words that spewed acid crippling creating disability.

I saw you today. Instigating and debating about useless subjects that will only fall to the ground and disappear leaving a residue of regret.

I saw your insecurity and pain. Your silent cry for help.
You laugh but its empty and hallow.

I saw you walk by me today, cold and lost.
you smiled but there was no happiness.

I saw you today and I know you.

You see, I know that behind the poison, behind the words, beyond the cold and silence there's hope. A beaming light that breaks through the cracks of the tainted abuse and the abandon dreams.

I see someone else. Peeling back the labels that this world has placed on you. Peeling back the scales that blind you.
I see you stepping forward into the plans that go beyond any social network can reach. Plans that only God can teach.

I see you.You're stepping into what was once deadless dreams into life, truth and reality, You're breaking away from man's society.

You are not what they say you are.You're better. You're stronger. You will succeed and accomplish and failure is not an option.

I thought it was very poetic. And true.
