[Miss Martian]

bright and cheery on the surface,

but underneath lurks insecurity.

she wonders how earth, so big and brilliant,

can value appearances like it does?

/

{aesthetics and beauty is all that matters}

She heard from the television.

And wanting to find peace, acceptance,

She believed it.

/

She was from a place

That judged her appearance too.

Being the wrong color outcasted her.

Made her wonder of kindness really existed

If one could judge a whole being from their color.

/

And so, lonely, and desiring to belong to earthen's world,

She changed.

Made herself {beautiful},

like the television demanded.

Made kindness her creed

To treat those the way she was never treated.

And hoped to make a difference in the way people perceive others.
