Society's Blindness

Society's Blindness...

Morning after morning right when I wake up
Before I even put on my make-up 
I find myself in front of the mirror 
Just so I can look at myself clearer 
seeing people on the street I always say hi
But they constantly just keep passing me by
Why cant people just see me for me 
Looking past the inner beauty to the outter me 
So day after day they pass me by
And still I ask myself why 
Why do I have to be beautiful to be known 
Askin all these questions as I sit here all all alone
wishing there was someway I could really see
What people actually see when they look at me
Then maybe I could find a way
To be beautiful in their eyes one day.
