Don't judge a book by it's cover

 

Not all emo's are suicidal.

Not all black people steal cars.

W****s aren’t the only ones with STD's

Not all celebrities are 'perfect'

When someone smiles doesn't mean they're happy.

When he says he'll call he probably won't.

Just cos he dresses well doesn't mean he's gay.

That guy with his boxers showing doesn't make him gangster.

Just because i wear Black doesn't make me gothic.

Not all religious folk are going to damn you to hell.

Don't judge a book by it's cover,

Don't base a candy by it's outer case.

Don't make stupid assumptions.

Cos I guarantee, you wouldn't like what people thought of you.

You said it all right there in your last line
"Cos I guarantee, you wouldn't like what people thought of you." If only it was that easy to get the point across to others...I like how you chose your words within this very "in the face" concept...no give there..no wishy-washy meakness...strong statements and given with a great deal of respect as well for others..shows that you have an open mind while writing..(just saying as reguard to others feelings there) Bravo for you...very nice!!! Thank you for the RR :)

Very nice! I really liked the poem. Just one thing, the last line is somehow a misfit in this poem. Try looking at it please. Thanks for the awesome poem-

I love how true this message is. Everyone is judged for all of what they are seen as and what they really aren't on the inside. No one bothers to take the time to get ta know someone...assumptions always put the other person in power, when they really turn out ta know nothing but lies and rumors. We should be known for who we really are and not who we're not. People should take time and actually be patient in getting to know someone and those who are different around them.

Judging people is human nature. Accepting peoples' judgements...I can ignore. I wear black all the time, but nobody classifies me, because I tread paths through all the "cliques" that exist. Good piece though.
