BEFORE YOU JUDGE ME

Before you judge me
Do not think of life like this,
black and White, no my friend.
More it is than illusion
Deep more than the oceans.
Life is how you see it but not true
Could be cold and void.

No, do not judge me
In time that passes,
each not recovered
None can handle
Its sometimes complicated.

Never judge me,
the outside you see will not do
Not even the triggers
You see through the lens
You see only what you chose to see.

Please do not judge me
Never do you see it all,
Never can you wear those shoes
Never can you see inside
The vagueness and void of it.
Eventually we’ll stand equal,
and in those we’ll see to judge.
