Looking Beyond
Posted on: November 16, 2013
They say never judge a book by its cover.
Well the truth goes the same with one another.
What may look old and worn on the outside
May actually be beautiful on the inside;
We need not pass judgement on what we visually see
And instead look even deeper to what is within.
It’s like a book whose cover is ripped and torn
And lacking visual interest to attract
So it can be read;
But, on the inside this worn book
Has an amazing story to be told
And motivating others who at least give it half a chance
For an inspiring plot to take hold
And essentially start to unfold;
Just like we need to give this book a fair chance
The same goes for everyone, as those people
We may try and avoid, perchance
May actually have the most amazing personality
To which their true beauty would essentially win us over,
As it does remarkably enhance;
Just think at what a great friendship you could be missing out on
Because you passed judgement on them
So far in advance;
In order to get to really know someone you need to spend more time with them instead of judging one another at first glance.
Maybe next time when you grab a book
Or when you see others and take a look
You will finally see
What is waiting inside may truly be
An exciting worthwhile opportunity,
With even more endless possibilities;
You finally need to give this relationship
Half a chance to finally explore
And realizing the other beauty you
Thought was so initially important
Is not significant anymore
Because by looking instead at what truly matters
And that is what is within the inner core.
