Take one look at me,
And knock me to my knees.
Slap a label on me,
As if I were made in a factory.
Don't mind the truth,
It will never reach you.
I am only what you see,
That's all I'll ever be,
Because that's what you believe.
The man mopping the floors,
You never spoke to him before.
But if you knew his name,
You'd know the hero he became.
The woman covered in ink,
You made her poor heart sink.
You never had the patience,
To let her prove her intelligence.
The girl with two heads,
"What a monster" you said.
But they are two different people,
Who share a single vessel.
They are only what you see,
That's all they'll ever be,
Because that's what you believe.
You look at our skin,
Not at what lies within.
You notice our age,
But never what we have to say.
You judge our clothes,
And ignore our kind tones.
We are only what you see,
That's all we'll ever be,
Because that's what you believe.
