Analysis of Never Judge a book by its cover
You can never judge a book, by exploring just its cover.
It is only when you open it up, you soon will discover.
Looking from the outside, the story may seem quite apparent.
But the inside holds hidden truth, one wishes to be transparent.
Not visible to the human eye as if looking into a blank page.
Not knowing the book your trying to read may be holding onto rage.
All books have their mystery, trying to hide its history, while its cover displays hidden trickery.
Just a front to what reality holds, the truth that lies within its folds.
Tucked away deep inside, true life story of struggle, the cover tries to hide.
This book can be worn, torn and tattered,
Used and abused, or broken dreams shattered.
While visual perceptions may fill the cover with imitated smiles.
The inside holds unforeseen deceptions, from many of lives trials.
You can never judge a book by its cover and how it's portrayed.
Discover the truth, feel free to invade, pages and words could start to fade.
Silence may hold some back in fear to not interfere or inconvenience oneself,
While keeping their pages blank, or book private sitting empty on the shelf.
Invade the pages you may have neglected, think out the box, get connected. Find the inner beauty of this cover you may have rejected.
Connect the unknown cover with the pages and you will soon then find,
it's through words and understanding that keeps a books true bind.
