Perception
by Robin Torgerson
Do not judge me by my outer appearance.
But look deep into my soul.
For it is there that you will see who I am.
Our bodies are but cases
that protects our heart from physical pain.
But it cannot protect us from words.
Think before you speak words that
will cause a heart to hurt.
And if you love someone,
surround that heart gently with caring.
A loving heart is given completely,
in trust and faith
that it will be guarded for all time.

I really enjoyed the poem. It has a special meaning for me as I too have been judged by my looks and it is very hurtful. It was excellent!

Ok this poem is my fav. Our body is a case that protects us from the world and I myself know that words can stay inside. This poem has given me a new look on life and our fellings as human beings and if we love someone, suround there heart with love.
