don't judge ...

You think you know me. You see me past by and say, "oh her, she's a bitch." You see me walk by and I don't notice you and you are quick to say "she's a snob or she thinks she's better than all of us." You see me and you say things about me.

You are so easy to judge. Don't. Don't judge me. You do not know me.

You think you know me. You go out with me and put me on display for all the world to see and you think, "she's pretty. I just need to compliment her and she'll think good of me." You go out with me and wine and dine me and you think "she's hooked. She's mine now."

You are so easy to judge. Don't. Don't judge me. You do not know me.

You think you know me. You talk to me everyday and we share stories and you think, "she's so strong. She  can move on just like that." You listen to my date stories and you think, "she has so many boys. She must be really happy. Never a dull moment."

You are so easy to judge. Don't. Don't judge me. You do not know me.

 

You do not know me. You do not know my horrors and the betrayals I have gone through,. You did not see me pick up the broken pieces that is my life and painfully putting it back together one piece at a time. I am good at giving advice because I have fallen down so many times and gotten back up again. I am good at encouraging people because deep inside, I need that encouragement as well. I am good at loving others because I need to be loved. 

You do not know me. You do not know the pain I am feeling for all you can see when you look at me is my smile that lights the room and my laughter that is contagious and can make you feel better. You do not see me late at night, in my room, crying myself to sleep. You do not hear the deep breaths that I have to take to stop myself from breaking down. You do not see the nail marks on my hand that is left because I need to keep myself under control. 

You do not know me. You will never know me because you do not want to know me.
