Array ( [sid] => 17100 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Past the Outer Layer [time] => 2003-05-06 02:05:00 [hometext] => That unpopular kid at school might not be so bad. You won't ever know, unless you get to know him first. It hurts to be misjudged, I should know.
Yet another poem dedicated to my friend Ryou. [bodytext] => When people look at me,
They judge me by my looks.
You can not look at covers,
And by them, judge the books.

A person’s skin and clothing,
Are just an outer layer,
You can not truly judge them,
‘Till you’ve seen their soul laid bare.

A person’s heart and soul
Tell who they truly are.
You can not simply glance at them
And judge them from afar.

Please, before you judge them,
Approach them, learn their heart.
So when you judge a person,
You’ll know before you start.

Past the Outer Layer

When people look at me,
They judge me by my looks.
You can not look at covers,
And by them, judge the books.

A person’s skin and clothing,
Are just an outer layer,
You can not truly judge them,
‘Till you’ve seen their soul laid bare.

A person’s heart and soul
Tell who they truly are.
You can not simply glance at them
And judge them from afar.

Please, before you judge them,
Approach them, learn their heart.
So when you judge a person,
You’ll know before you start.

I hate people that judge it's book by it's cover. I think people need to look what's inside then out

As well as being a good idea for all to pay heed, it's got a nice flow and rhythm to it. I really enjoyed it.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
