Don't Believe What you See

She may seem like a beauty queen,

She may be all you dreamed of being,

But what you fail to see,

Is how she hates her reality.

She cries herself to sleep at night,

Wishing she could be more than just  a pretty face in the bright lights.

She is so strong and so full of courage as you see her on stage,

She is speaking so positively, so eloquently, she is true blue no mistake.

You would not believe it, but when she walks in the doors of her house she is in a prison cell,

All her loved ones do is call her harsh names and scream so hateful and yell.

So she screams into her pillow at night and cries her self to sleep.

Praying to God above one day, one day she will be free.

She has no nice clothes, she has holes in her shirt,

Her hair is brushed a little and her nails are full of dirt.

You would look at her and think poor thing.

But what you do not see is

She is full of life, full of love, she's so dirty because she just was rescued from a flood.

She also helped to rescue some people who were trapped in a tree,

She is so grateful to be alive and does not care how she may appear to you and to me.

So before you judge anyone again by what you see, or hear, or read,

Pray and ask God to reveal to you the truth, the real, the unseen.
