Can You Tell?

Never judge a book by its cover. More true then you'll ever know. Think about it, can you look at someone and tell what kind of person they are? Or what kind of life they've lived? Some think they can, but don't fool yourself. To look at a person and know they've been abused. Not if they cover their scars. The quietest child who can be the sweetest angel when others are near, can also be a monster when out of sight. I mean even the saddest person can hide behind a smile. So, do you still think you can judge a book by its cover?
