Duly noted.

A first impression is irreversible,
This much I know to be true.
I'm noticing every way you glance,
Trying to read me, while I talk to you.

I notice you noticing a split lip.
You're probably assuming I got it in a fight.
Wrongly assuming, may I add.
I got it from a passionate night.

I notice you noticing the 'bling' on my wrist.
Are you now thinking I'm really that shallow?
I hate the damn thing in reality, too garish for me.
A present from family, I'm sentimental, so my pride I swallow.

I notice you noticing the scars.
The way too obvious scars on my arms.
Those scars are from scratching in my sleep.
And there you were, thinking, classic teenage self-harm.

Now you're noticing my arrogant smug smirk.
And every word I said will be misquoted.
Because you assumed based on what you saw.
And now your prejudgement has been duly noted.
