Look deeply in my eyes
past all my tears and troubles
Look deeper still there's something down inside my soul that bubbles
It’s a force I cannot see
but still I know it’s there
Look deeply in my eyes to see it sparkle like a flare
Journey backwards, from my soul
until we’re face to face
Look beneath the mask that hides it, see me in it’s place
Take a backwards step and see the picture that I taper
There’s a soul behind the man behind the mask that wrote these words on paper

Love that last line.
The whole poem is quite good. Nice meter, lyrical.
Taking a deeper at someone takes time and evergy. People are not money -- face value.

Thank you for your comments. I wrote this after noticing that many people will not look you in the eyes during conversation or even just walking down the street. They take a quick glance and judge the whole picture. Most people hide behind a mask in one way or another and unless people look deeper than this they can not see the person or the soul that's standing infront of them.
