An ordinary man
With an ordinary grin
Tall and gangly
Confident spark in his eyes
The soul that lurks inside
Is kind and gentle
His smile embodies this
People look on him with contempt
The ordinary man
With the ordinary grin
Is looked on by some
Judging him unattractive
Observing this man
I smirk to myself
I have found the truth
While others dismiss him
So very odd
How ordinary people
Look at an ordinary man
Neglecting the soul within.
