Take a look on the outside, tell me what you think.
Take a look at the inside.
Did I prove to you that you are wrong.
Before you judge me, try to get to know me.
Take a look around.
So many feel like they don't belong.
They've been mistreated.
Yet they are human just like everyone else.
Take a look and reach out a hand.
Make someone feel worth while.
Take a look on the outside.
Don't like what you see, take a look inside.
That may change you're opinion.

Indeed you are right. I remember once there was this guy I did not like. I didn't like him because he was unlike me. I was sure I had no use for him. Then I had to work with him and began to find that he was a good guy. My image of him had been all wrong and unfair. So yes, you have to look inside people not just at their surface.

Excellent write here
I would love to see this put up on billboards everywhere for people for some reason think they are better than others . Its terrible the way people do today they wont evern say goodmorning or hello its like their face would crack and bfall off if they let a smile leave their body for even a secone .Come on people you want to know why this world is in such a mess .We are the reason we quit caring about others and it needs to change for none of us would have a darn thing if it werent for the rest of us .So wake up america try to be human for a change and lets see if we cant enjoy life together

A much needed reminder that our character is what makes us admirable, not our appearance. We can say we understand, but will we ever learn to live like we do? I love line three. Should it end in a question mark?

This poem was good but it was very jumpy and a little hard to understand. But the meaning behind it at least what I got from it was good. Keep writing.

Great! It's so true that alot of us "judge a book by its cover" or don't even bother judging at all, forgetting that the person is human and needs respect like everyone else. Thanks for sharing! Good luck in the contest.
