Had this poem printed in my clubs regular newsletter ( I didn't write it). Just thought it was a brilliant bit of writing. Let me know what you guys think :D
I saw you; hug your purse closer to you in the grocery store line. You didn't see me put an extra $10.00 in the collection plate last Sunday. I saw you; pull your child closer when we passed each other on the sidewalk. You didn't see me playing Santa at the local mall.
I saw you; change your mind about going into the restaurant. You didn't see me attending a meeting to raise more money for the hurricane relief. I saw you, roll up your window and shake your head when I rode by You didn't see me, driving behind you when you flicked your cigarette butt out the car window. I saw you, frown at me when I smiled at your children. You didn't see me, when I took time off from work to run toys to the homeless. I saw you, stare at my long hair. You didn't see me and my friends cut ten inches off for Locks of Love. I saw you roll your eyes at our leather coats and gloves.
You didn't see me and my brothers donate our old coats and gloves to those that had none. I saw you; look in fright at my tattoos. You didn't see me cry as my children were born and having their name tattooed on my skin and in my heart. I saw you change lanes while rushing off to go somewhere. You didn't see me going home to be with my family.
I saw you complain about how loud and noisy our bikes can be. You didn't see me, when you were changing the CD and drifted into my lane. I saw you, yelling at your kids in the car. You didn't see me; pat my child's hands knowing he was safe behind me. I saw you, reading the newspaper or map as you drove down the road. You didn't see me; squeeze my wife's leg when she told me to take the next turn. I saw you, race down the road in the rain. You didn't see me, get soaked to the skin so my son could have the car to go on his date. I saw you; run the yellow light just to save a few minutes of time. You didn't see me.
