Perception

You may call me a lady

Or a gentleman maybe

You can say that I am fat

Or speak just the contrast

You can say that I am tall

Or call me thick, if you shall

You can say I am fair

Or indeed a beauty rare

You can say I am dark

A teacher, doctor or a clerk

Oh! let me bring to your notice

You all need a diagnosis

I am not just the muscles and bones

I cannot be described by my skin tones

I ain't the outer side you see

Everything is - the inner beauty

It was a difficult lesson whole

My judgments when I learned to control

From bodily opinions, I took a parole

And discovered then " I am the inner Soul".
