O' Stop Being Superficial

A Poem to Emphasize that There is More to a Person Than Just Looks

CB
The beginning...

O' Stop being Superficial,

Stop being so Tri-vial.

Just because I look so hot,

Does not mean I have no brains.

Just because I'm NO model

Does not mean you can call me names.

========================

I may be blond and dumb.

I may be blond and wise.

How do you really know,

that I won't take you by surprise?

========================

I may not look too exquisite.

I may not be a model.

I may still.. be the sweetest person

you encounter in this life.

========================

O' Stop being Superficial,

Stop being so Tri-vial.

Learn to see beyond the layer

Only then will you be smarter.

I hope when you look at me,

a wonderful human is what you see.

========================

I write this because like many of you, I too am tired of reading messages from strangers talking about my looks. 'Oh you look good? Can we be friends?'- both from men and women.LOL. To those strangers- I am privileged that you feel so and thank you for those compliments. But when I get these messages, all I think is- You don't even know me! I just wished people stopped being superficial.

    I just don't have the time to ask everybody and their brother if they want to be friends. Where do people find the time to do this?! ;-)
