“I See You,” written and performed by IN-Q, is a shared moment of recognition. As a poet and spoken word artist, IN-Q has always used his work to peel back the layers of what it means to be human and say the quiet things out loud.
In this piece, he speaks to the version of us that doubts, questions, hopes, and hurts. His words become a bridge between how we appear and how we actually feel, offering a kind of understanding that doesn’t judge. “I See You” gives a voice to what so many of us feel but struggle to articulate, a longing to be fully seen, accepted, and believed in just as we are.
“I See You” by IN-Q
I see you
The you behind the you
Not for anything you’ve done or anything you’re gonna do
I don’t stop to say it enough
But I believe in you
And if you could see yourself from my view
You’d believe it too
That’s why I’m giving you the gift that I’m receiving too
A message to remind you when you're lost or feeling blue
A mantra to repeat when times are tough
Because no matter who we are
WE ARE ALWAYS ENOUGH
It’s a silent prayer I’m sending for the world's mental health
I wear this symbol for myself and as a bond to someone else
It’s a blessing, and a gentle push to never give up
Because no matter who you are
YOU ARE ENOUGH
