Look me in the eye

Look me in the eye.
Can you hold your gaze?
Or do you see the difference
And quickly look away?
What scares you so much
About my imperfections?
You look kind of wary
Like it’s an infection.
But there’s nothing different
About the rest of me,
So why do you stare
Like I’m some kind of freak?
You might think it’s funny
But try walking in my shoes.
If everybody laughed at you
Would you still be amused?
I shake the jokes and stares off
As they come day after day,
But the echoes never leave me, and
The taunting always stays.
When I look into the mirror,
I see dazzling eyes of blue.
And if you’d look past my flaws
You just might see that too.
