Personal Devices

Put down your phone & look around.
You’ve missed some things that have gone down.

You’ve missed me trying eye contact.
It seems your eyes auto-redact.

They edit out what you’d not hear.
They omit all your constant fear.

People await behind your screen.
We only want to have been seen.

Those who would love you scrubbed away.
So much nothing with so much sway.

I see the world through a Painter’s eyes and process it with a Poet's Heart....it's quite a harsh place for the soul. It scratches and wears your true self down, at times, but the Beauty is Addictive. I feel for everyone I encounter. Everyone I encounter is a teacher if I'll let them be. I Empathize with everyone I talk to & I Think about Everything-LEVi
