Dont judge a book by its cover


Do not judge me From the outside, Because all you will see Is my stupid pride. It's like the saying Don't judge a book by its cover. My image may be scary, But I'm not like any other Person you've met, Someone you know. Just because you've heard it Doesn't mean you know Exactly what I'm going through, How much I've been hurt. Stop judging my appearance And treating me like dirt. Open your eyes  And you may see That what's on the outside Is not what I may be. Actually, What I'm not at all. Please get over this; Climb this wall. When you see me walking, Take a hard look.  Please stop judging me  By the outside of my book. Maybe instead  Look past my face And see that the outside Doesn't mean I'm a disgrace. And maybe if You took your time for a start, You'd see that the outside  Does not reflect my heart.
