Don'T Judge a Book By Its Cover
Don't judge a book by its cover -
As simple as it may sound,
You will also soon discover
What I, with difficulty, found.
People who look happy outside
Make you feel jealous sometimes;
But when you know them from inside
They look different, many times.
We just show to the outside world
What we want people to see;
What really lies inside us, curled
We hide it well, I must agree.
If we could show true emotions -
Happiness and mainly pains,
They might even search the oceans
To find a way to free our chains.
Let's try to keep our books open
Unafraid to let them read
With friends atleast, be outspoken -
Show them your heart, unchained and freed.
Without knowing the true story,
Just reading the one on the cover,
Let's not cross their territory -
Don't ever judge a book by its cover.
