You do not see ME

What do you see, when you see me?

I see a fair, white beauty.

But, what else do you see?

I do not understand why you question me?

I am more than just the outer skin,

My existence and meaning goes deep within.

You forget I am a human, who feels,

A person who goes through all emotions.

I am caring, stubborn and nice.

I get angry, frustrated and cry.

But all gets lost, because all you see,

Is the outer cover, and that does not define me.
