as people

we are

just like books

not judged from the inside 

but just on our looks

covers are seen

who knows what we contain

no one ever discovers

the stories there to gain

one may come along

and open you up

but slam you shut again

without a second look

maybe we need

a bit of patience 

to know what's on the inside

we each contain a story

we are just like books
