Passing Judgement By Outward Appearances

There are many of us quickly passed over and criticized, from our outward appearances.   Funny how a tattoo can be the definition of a hellion, someone out of place, different and hard.  Somehow a drawing on a body portrays this to some.  And that is all it is, drawings on our bodies, which some carefully choose with meaning and significance while other's choose randomness.  Funny how a pair of fishnets make some perceive you as a slut or wearing all black means you must be in a cult.  A bright color in your hair, dreadlocks, a "different" hair cut; and we are all freaks.  Do not judge so easily by the outside appearance of other's.  Our hearts still beat the same, we all experience the same emotions and we all feel the need to be wanted and accepted.  This doesn't mean we should change ourselves to be accepted though.  If you are uncomfortable with the appearance of others, that's your own problem.  I will never bend to someone's will about how I should look, as long as I am happy with myself, that is all that matters.
