"Perception" You think I’m crazy; I’m not… I am unique. You think I’m weird; I’m not… I am gifted. You think I’m strange; I’m not… I am original. You think I’m stupid; I’m not… I am intelligent. You think I’m poor; I’m not… I am rich within. You think I’m ugly; I’m not… I am beautiful down deep. You think overall I’m no good; I’m not… I am a sinner, too. So why are you so quick to judge me? I guess I shall never know. By: Dana Samples 4-24-01 |

I hate it when people judge you before they get to know you. I love the moral of this poem. Good job and keep up the good work! Every action of our lives touches some chord that will vibrate in eternity. |

Great piece. I loved the whole point and the way it was put together was awesome. I think everyone can and will have a different PERCEPTION of your work. Its beautiful, so keep up the great work. "True friends stab you in the front" |

Being judged = not fun at all. I know the feeling here, Dana. Very nice work as usual. ~Allan Build a man a fire, and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life. |

I really liked this one. It had a stong massage, and made me think about it. We all judge people, even subconsciously, but we shouldnt act on any judgements till we can really back them up. Great read!! *~*Amanda*~* |

I really liked this, Dana. The style is very interesting, and the format was excellent! VERY nice work, yet again. I enjoyed this, as always. Nicely done --Marie subconsciously, i think i can eat so much to make my stomach hurt, instead of my heart. |

Very cool. I totally can relate to this one. People see me as being different and don't like to accept that. Thank you for sharing this, I'll be looking forward to reading more of your work. - Cody - |

I liked this one alot, you did a very good job expressing yourself here. I hate it when ppl judge me when they have no grounds to, and I hope that you don't take those quick judgements to heart. The only people that have a right to judge you are those that know you well, and I'm sure they would all have great things to say...Hope to read more of your work soon. ~*Nikki*~ ~*Of all the millions of people in the world, I'm just me.*~ |

yea, being judged sucks alot... no one has a right to do it. More of the people that don't even know you. Good poem! |
