Façade
What's behind the façade, behind the mask we wear,
behind the image, deep down in there.
What really is deep within?
Way past, underneath the skin.
We show ourselves one way, then hide the rest.
What is really the person's quest?
Do they show themselves as Jeykll, but really is Hyde?
You can't decide unless you look inside.
Why do we judge by first look,
like the cover of a book.
Why don't we take time to look deep inside,
for there indeed is where our true being doth lie.
I agree with you wanting people to see past the superficiality into the inner beings people have. It's easier to accept what's said, presented, told, but it's wiser to look for the underlying tones. Not only does it help you gain better people kills and understanding, but it shows people you care enough to dig a little further.
