Judgement

People think they know who you are

Most don't really take time to see anyone else's scars

They seem to live in glass houses with a perfect life

They make it appear they have no strife

When they ask how you are, how have you been

It is questions in passing, you can tell by their grin

If they truly accepted you for you

You would not feel judged, leaving you feeling battered and bruised

Judging someone who lives a life of loneliness and pain

Judging someone for dancing in the rain

Judging someone for the color of their skin or hair

Judgement here, judgement there, judgement, judgement everywhere

You talk too much, laugh too loud,

You're too noticeable in a crowd.

You're too quiet, you're too shy,

You're a wall flower watching life fly by.

You don't eat right, you're too skinny, too fat,

Maybe I have a medical condition, did you think of that?

Come as you are, you are welcome with us,

That is what they say, until the going gets rough.

If a word could be removed for this world

Judgement is the first I would hurl

Far away for people to see

You are you and I am me.

What I do, say and feel

These things to me are real.

Before you pass judgement on someone today

Remember the fact that your lives may be far from being the same
