Don't judge me when you look at me,
There's more to me than what you see.
I am a person just like you,
And yes I have feelings too.
People only see what they choose to see,
Never trying to see the real me.
I know that when they look at me,
they see the person I used to be.
Try to look beyond my face,
Perhaps put yourself in my place.
Please try to look inside of me,
At the person I'm struggling to be.
You won't see the person you think you see,
I'm nothing like you think I'd be.
So don't judge me when you look at me,
There's more to me than what you see.
