In The Eyes of Many

what am I in the eyes of many? read to find out

In the eyes of many, I am ghostly,

I hide myself beneath this silent skin

In the eyes of many, where would I be,

The shadow or the daylight, I am in?

Recognized was I not for my good deeds

So these deeds hide only in my sealed mind

Only to an unseen face does this leads

A face that sees the eyes of many blind

To me, everyone would love to be near

If I only reveal my true worthy soul

My confident voice, they would love to hear

If there was a small chance for me to glow

To be seen and adored, those are my cries

For I am just a phantom in their eyes

Your ideas are complex thought said through simple language, beautiful

[Ahmad Cox]

Very beautiful. Are you referring to the holy ghost or Jesus Christ?

[Kyle Sky]

In all truth, Im reffering to myself. I am a phantom, unnoticed for my talents, my skills, my contributions.

Another excellent read! Well done! The poem itself seems like the mournful cry of an unloved person/ being.

Such moving sadness this poem invokes; the hidden character seeping through the veil you so carefully shield in this piece. "To be seen and adored, those are my cries
For I am just a phantom in their eyes" The ending is simple, fresh yet poignant. Beautiful write!
