About the Poem
This poem is about a time in my life when I was hurt deeply. To be judged by your appearance and not by what is inside you is the worst kind of hurt.
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.
