Take One Look

Take one more look,
What is it that you see?
I’m trying my hardest,
I’m more than just me!
Just take one more look,
“Please”, I beg,
Believe of me,
I’m not a fragile egg,
Take one more look!
Just one more at me!
Do you play in the ocean or
Stare at its glimmer?
Do you grab butterflies,
Or glance at their shimmer?
There’s more to me,
My story’s as big as an oak tree,
Ask for one little thing,
It’s not worshiping,
Open you’re eyes and please!
See all of me
