Please don't judge me by my face, <br />by my religion or my race. <br />Please don't laugh at what I wear, <br />or how I look or do my hair. <br />Please look a little deeper- <br />way down inside, <br />and although you may not see it, <br />I have alot to hide. <br />Behide my clothes, the secrets lie, <br />Behide my smile, I softly cry. <br />Please look a little deeper, <br />and maybe you will see, <br />The lonely little girl <br />that lives inside of me. <br />Please listen carefully to her- <br />she'll show that she's insecure. <br />Please try to be a friend to her, <br />and show her that you care. <br />Please just get to know her <br />and maybe you will see <br />that if you just look deep enough, <br />you'll find the real me.<br /><br />Hali Curtis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/please-look-a-little-deeper/
