Please Look A Little Deeper

Please don't judge me by my face,
By my religion or my race.
Please don't laugh at what I wear,
Or how I look or do my hair.

Please look a little deeper
Way down deep inside,
And although you may not see it,
I have a lot to hide.
Behind my clothes, the secrets lie.
Behind my smile, I softly cry.

Please look a little deeper,
And maybe you'll see,
The lonely girl inside me.
Please listen carefully to her,
She'll show that she's insecure.

Please try and be a friend to her,
And show her that you care.
Please just get to know her,
And maybe you'll see,
That if you look deep enough
You'll see the real me.
