Open your eyes

If I
Looked different on the outside
Would you
Run away and hide?

Would you
Stay and reside
Provide a name
It's hard in this la la la love game

But if I was of a different race
Would you turn in disgrace
Whether I was Mexican or Asian
Black or Caucasian

Or
If I was a blonde Bimbo
Volumptuous lips
Bigger ***
I'm sure you'd stay
But if I was short and fat
You'd probably run away
I try not to judge a book by its cover
Something I'm working at

Would you
See past the outside beauties
Love each other
It is our duties

So
Open your eyes
Girls and guys
See past these lies
First
Take off your own disguise
You'll see the right
In my rhymes
It'll be obvious
Ultraviolet light
Clear your sight
See the characteristics of
This beautiful feeling called
Love

OMG I LOVE THIS POEM. I am trying to work something out with a guy that is focused on my body not me... keep writing.... :)
