DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER

By: stargirl


A long forgotten book, On the library shelf
There, covered by cobwebs, it lie
It's too unattractive, not worthy to be read
Say, people passing it by
Don't judge a book by it's cover
For if you do, you might miss
That a treasure's inside, that longs to be seen
Between the covers amiss

The geode's just an ugly rock
You may faithfully decide
So walking on your way unknowing
That small crystals were inside
Don't judge a geode from its shell
For if you do, you might miss
That a treasures inside, longing to be seen
Between it's covers amiss-

A person is the most misjudged
They hurt inside as others pass by
Trying to smile when they'd rather cry
And all too willing to die
They say they're fine when they're not
And they hide behind a mask
Just wanting to see a friendly face
Is that so much to ask?
Don't judge people from their appearance,
For if you do, you might miss,
That a treasure's inside, longing to be seen,
Between their covers amiss
