That MISSconception

underneath that mask - there's a person there
behind that clever wall - that person stands in fear

without asking . . . she has a thought
without smiling . . . she has a heart
without words . . . she has an ear
without  looking . . . she knows you're near

I think if you ask her a question, she will be quick to answer
and just like you, as clear as night, she even sheds a tear

this person is not a monster. this person is not a star.
this person is not anyone you've considered friend
. . . from a far

But please check yourself, when you decide to judge
Make sure to look in the mirror, before you hold that grudge
A person feels supported when someone shows they care
and misunderstood at times by those who aren't aware
open up your mind to things you do not know
don't follow by the crowd and only exist by show

i'll only give as much, as you would allow me to give
I will not step back and let YOU decide . . . how I'm supposed to live
