Just The Cover
When you look at me,
 What do you see?
 
 Just a blank face,
 Covered in freckles?
 Just another stupid blonde
 Who has to wear glasses
 Because she can’t afford herself contacts?
 A ruthless, unimportant, overweight person, 
 who wears Funky fashions because she 
 doesn’t have much money? Or the fact
 That she’s not popular, and disconnected from the world
 So you think she’s a freak.
  
 Yes, this is all you see
 Because You judge
 Me by my cover.
 
 I am not invisible,
 Even though people
 Walk pass me and I go undetected
 That doesn’t make me imperceptible,
 People just like to take one look
 And that’s all they need to decide
 If you’re important to their eye
 
 But they won’t give you a chance
 To explain who you really are
 Or what your about,
 They just don’t care
 
 When I look at you,
 What do I see?
 I see things other people
 Fail to realize
 I keep an open mind,
 I will try to comprehend, 
 
 Yes, this is what I see,
 Incredibility hidden inside
 I don’t judge you by your cover,
 It’s not right and it will never be.
 
 When you believe,
 What do you dream?
 I’d like to know.
 
 Just talk to us
 We are so much more
 Than our covers.
