Array ( [sid] => 177114 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Don't judge a book by its cover, they say, but THEY do it anyway. [time] => 2013-11-05 21:36:26 [hometext] => [bodytext] => We would all love to say that appearance does not matter,
that being ugly doesn’t change your opinion or even being fatter.
But the cold truth is we all judge for looks,
we all judge each other like the covers of books.
Society will say you are too fat or too small,
and truly their opinion does not matter at all.
But you and they will take it as if it does,
and you will let it annoy you because…
They have made you insecure,
They have changed you from who you were.
They have made you want to be different,
They have tried to leave a large dent.

Now what you must do, is ignore it,
or else their fire has just been lit.
It is the fire filled with hate,
so just remember that, soon they will meet their fate.
And they will be sorry for what they have said,
you must forget about it, and go to bed.
When you wake up it is a new day,
where you must again ignore what they say.
Do not listen, or care, or feel, for what they said,
because soon they will get karma in their life ahead.
And it will be worse than what they did to you,
While you get to live life with a better view.

But you may want to know, who are they?
Well they are the people who all say.
You are too fat,
or you look like a rat.
They are the people who say all things bad,
allthe people who make you feel sad.
So in one word, they is everyone,
yes it is even you, take that as a stun.
We have all done this, we are guilty of this crime,
even if you didn’t mean to, you did at some time.
You, him, her, they, and I,
have all done it, no one can deny.
It is a sad truth, but a truth none the less,
we judge everyone who looks like a mess.

Don’t judge a book by its cover, we all say,
but it doesn’t matter cause we all do it anyway.
