when life gives you lemons... eat them and make really weird faces at people.

As they speak,
I listen.
But I do not hear.

My mind is elsewhere,
anywhere...
but here.

My voice talks of
meaningless things.
But my mind always finds...
a thousand words worth saying.

I look at them.
I do not look with my eyes,
I see... with my thoughts.

-I will not Judge
or seek to Criticize.
But I may assume
like most do.

This poem is describing how some people see the world differently, some see looks, but I see through those looks. I see how they look on the inside.
