Blurred Persepection:

Scottcole178

True beauty shines within us

So why do we talk to mirrors,

When their eyes are blind to see

What they're staring at always withers.

 

For their beauty is only skin deep

So that's all they ever see,

When we stand in their presence

And cry out with our plea.

 

They can't reveal our character 

Or display our heart of hearts,

For their silver eyeballs are numb

To the most important parts.

 

They tell you what they can

And nothing that they know,

So everything they tell you 

Is to heighten up the show.

 

I guess we think they're wiser 

Cause they judge alot of faces,

But looks can be deceiving 

So their efforts are always wasted.

 

For splendor always dwells within 

Deep below the skin,

And beauty only wears a grin 

Every now and then.

 

So never trust a stranger

To gauge you by your looks,

Because no one should judge you 

By the cover of your book
