If you were to close you eyes,
You could see a better sight.
The eyes,
Can tell of nothing but lies.
Those who are not of beauty at sight,
Are those who fall and hidden away from light.

Those who are unlike others,
Are outcast not of sisters or brothers.
The eyes that hides the love,
Only see nothing but features.
What is given from above,
misused by no other but us.
What the eyes see is what cause hurt.
What the eyes see is nothing but dirt.

Only those who close their eyes,
See the truth and the light.
They see the beauty that is inside.
They do not judge but know what's right.
They know nothing of beauty but the heart that people hides.
Love in their eyes are not hidden out of sight.

If only, everyone was blind ...

This poem is dedicated to all those people who are being judge by their looks. I have came across quite a lot of people that judge people of their standards and looks! I would have to say, what is wrong loving or being around people that are not of your standard? IS it wrong to love them as you love your friends and family? Why judge them? Why outcast them? When they are your friends, you are with them, but when they get closer you push them away? Why cant a pretty girl be with an ugly man? Why cant an ugly girl be with handsome boy? Is it wrong? Why do you have to whisper behind their back? Why say :" She/He is not up to your standard. " ? Why cant you just let them be? If everyone were to be like this, what is to become of those who are hideous? Do they not deserve to be loved like you and me? What is to become of those who are not as classy or brilliant? Cant they just be loved by those who are better? Must he/she be of your standard? IF not you would have to look down upon them and say... YOU ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR Me? If so.. BUZZ OFF! Unless they are both bad at heart and bad at looks then... I would have to rest my case... but if no The world does not welcome people like you!
