First impression


I
wish that I didn't judge by
first impressions

I
find that I often rely
on assumptions

See
the person before me
and jump to judgement

See
a hint of a personality
and presume the pigment

This
is a sum of all my biases
that I want to change

This
will always be my default unless
I expand my range 

Now
I must see one outfit doesn't allow
you to know the full fashion

Now
I must overcome my instinct somehow
and instead jump to compassion

.
I do not know anyone's struggle or history.
I cannot instantly solve that mystery.

.
I can be kinder, but only once I've made this confession.
If I am truly to stop judging people by their first impression.
