Don'T Judge a Book By It's Cover

When you look at my skin tone
Don't categorize me
When you see what i wear
Don't dare label me
You don't know me
You just see my outside
I may be the sweetest person alive
Your assumptions are therefore unjustified
I may be the best friend you'll ever have
I may be that dream love if you chance
Instead of judging me by my looks
Misjudging me from first glance
Don't judge me by what you read
Or by what you see on television
Take time to get to know me
And form your own first hand decision

Highest form of praise is flattery, And so will I declare yours is Ultra Sweet! I judge you now by your acts, of this beautifully written message, oh blow me. . . Oops! I did it again! lols But the message is crystal clear, Love covers all tracks and judgement, don't you think so? Need I Say more. . . Senorita ?
