More Than Meets The Eye - inspired by Eric, Kristen, and Jenny
It seems awfully naive to think that you're the only ones
In such a vast universe you know so little about.
There are millions and millions of planets, moons, and suns
That can harbor the possibility of life, throughout.
The smartest people of the human race on planet Earth
Can't even fathom the knowledge of what really exists.
Your species is

More Than Meets the Eye
she runs down the hall
she is meSsY
she is LouD
she is an extrovert
no, she is not
just because she is not shy
does not mean she sometimes wants to cry
being sad and feeling low has crossed her path but I bet you didn't know
stop
stop degrading people based on what YOU see

Beauty Is More Than Meets the Eye
There are beautiful creatures to grace plains.
There are beautiful flowers for bouquets.
There are beautiful people …
natural and otherwise.
Whether people, creatures or flowers,
there is beauty all around.
One cannot tell at first glance, beauty

More Than Meets the Eye
Looking all around, I see nothing but black.
Yet when I look down, I see a sliver of color.
A sign that tells me there is hope of going back.
Surrounded by darkness, you keep me sane
In a sea of debris, you keep me safe
Here you seem small, fragile
But take another look.
You are bigger

More Than Meets the Eye
Don't blame the bearer of bad news -
A gun doesn't kill by itself or a knife,
Nor a violent video game or hostile views;
An evil act is but wrought by a mind's strife.
When you nurture a seedling or stunt its growth,
You can foretell it'll be a vine or an oak tree,
So is with the mind of

She's More Than Meets the Eye
Her beauty’s words that speak her mind
So effortlessly they form on the lips
Exposing her being, her true soul and thoughts
Her eyes are as opals, so bright, so clear
Looking fondly to others, for beauty within
Seeing past what may be obvious, into the depths
Her essence is not the obvious, which shows
But proves to be that which she

More Than Meets the Eye
My true self I have hidden,
And with bashfulness is ridden,
And all that I am feeling forms an ultra-silent sigh;
My throat contracts with dryness,
I am beaten up with shyness,
For what is going on within equates much more than meets the eye.
With resolve I try to fight it,
My tongue gets
