A Poetry Collection by Charles Ellis
Beneath
My Eyes
Refuse to live and die only to be a name and number.
Poetry rooted in observation, consequence, survival, and the truths people often carry in silence.
About the Book
Life observed without looking away.
Beneath My Eyes gives voice to the realities that shape a person long before the world understands their story.
Through poetry grounded in lived experience, Charles Ellis reflects on identity, choices, consequences, endurance, and the quiet truths that too often remain unseen.
The collection asks readers to look beyond labels and numbers—to recognize the humanity, struggle, and possibility carried within every life.
