If they could only see

If they could only see
Poem by
Reno C.

What dream brought you to life?
As if you are the manifestation of positivity.
Such openness and mountains of understanding.
Shadow all who are not looking.
Blind to what I see,
Only projections and reflections of their own inner-demons they force on thee.
Quite unfortunate that the shallow can drown in their own fear.
Why fear the deep? Why fear feelings unseen? 
True beauty fears not these things,
But celebrates them with open arms.
Which is you from dusk to dawn.
How the shallow envy your depths,
Thoughts and feelings they will never reach make them green and inadequate with in.
No power to own what they been given.
Beg to be let in when they haven't even earned it.
Maybe even blinded by self importance.
Which is why they meet resistance.
Your heart is locked behind fear of rejection,
You fail to understand the true projection. 
It is not you the shallow fear,
It is your depths they will never reach.
Building walls the worthy will never breach.
