Don’t Judge A Book By Its Cover

Don’t judge me by the way I look
and by the way I have my hair.
Don’t judge me by my dirty shoes
and by the way my jeans have tears.

Don’t think because I have tattoos
that I’m not nice to know.
Don’t think because I swear
that I have no feelings to show.

My appearance is a defence
to how I feel inside.
My sensitivity is my weakness
so my appearance is just a lie.
