Judging: Covers

Judging: Covers

A Story by EL LAO
"

just a quick thought i had

"
         Don't judge a book by its cover; a sad and deceitful lie that is told to people in the hopes that they are not judged without being given a chance to be known. But many of us still cannot get past the cover so this tale will be a story about a book, who learned that its cover is more important than what everyone told him. Since many people's real feeling are more shallow whether they wish to admit it or not.  For those people if the cover isn't fancy, amazing, breathtaking, then they will even pick up the book to read it. Why tell this sweet book such a deceitful  lie, that take him oh so high which will only cause the fall to be even harder and more painful.

          The book started with being written but on its way to the store the book got badly damaged to and its cover to begin with was never that nice. But the story inside it was amazing tale, of an adventure with excitement, romance, acting and tragedy.

          He thought " Watch out world a new masterpiece has been created." But time passed and he waited to see someone open him up and read his story but no one came. He was put on display so everyone can to see him but the cover just deterred people away from picking up the book.  So to overcome this awful truth, the book had to become clever. So, he stood open so that everyone can already read him and see what was the story that has been written in him.

         "Genius" was what he thought. So he stood open for the whole world to see. Waiting to be praised and find those readers that will enjoy his story. Why must he do this? Stoop to a level where he has to show everything just to be liked and given a chance. But by this point the book hopes were not about being critically acclaimed as a masterpiece but to be recognized and its existence acknowledged. That someone or may be many would stop and read his story and possibly even enjoyed it.

       But that someone hasn't been found yet and time passed. So the book was closed and put back into a shelf, to be put away in hope that one day, his ugly cover gets overlook. So someone can peer into it and be able to at least read the story that has been written inside of him. For his goals became smaller from the time he wanted to be recognized as a masterpiece to just having someone take time to read his story. Hope, the emotion that he has now, for that is the only thing he can do in this world that has overlooked him and cast him away to this space called loneliness.

        So will you be the one to open him and read his story or are you the type of person who cannot even look past his cover?  Since the book still he waits the book to be opened.
