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.
