Love & Hate

Faceless

You have to look beyond the face

to see the person true,

Deep down within my inner space 

I am the same as you;

I've counted since that fire burnt

the many lessons I have learnt.

You have to talk to me and not

the skin that holds me in,

I took the wisdom that I got

to make sure I would win;

I'm counting weaker folk than me

who look but truly cannot see.

I've seen compassion from the blind

who think with open eyes,

It's those that judge me quick you'll find

are those that are unwise;

why judge the face that I have on

just value my opinion

Friends will come and friends will go,

now I need friends who feel.

My friends have changed so much and so,

I make sure they are real;

I took the ride and paid the price,

I can't afford to do that twice.

I came to here from ignorance

I cannot call it bliss,

and now I know the importance

of loving me like this;

To leave behind that backward state

of judging looks is very great.

I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful

this minor fact I know,

I tell you It's incredible

near death has made me grow;

Look at me,smile,you are now seeing

a great thing called a human being.
