underestimate

How do you know
What a person is like
On the inside,
If you judge them
By what you see?

We all know the classics
The blondes, the nerds
We see their clothes
We use it as reference
For what they are like
On the surface

But is it really true?
Is that really what they’re like?
Why are we surprised when
Our judgment is wrong?
When someone does something new?
Is it because this mentality is so old?
Because people are not who they seem.

We fail to see what’s truly there
We miss what makes them special.
Next time you’re about to judge
Think before you
Underestimate
