Skin Deep
People belittle others
With hurtful words
And damaging actions
When they don’t look inwards.
Skin deep
Is how we think
Of those we see
While strolling down the street.
Beauty is not skin deep.
It delves deeper than that.
We seem to have forgotten
About this ideal we used to keep.
If all of this were to change
And people weren’t dubbed strange,
The world would be joyous and gay
With happiness each day.
