Judgment

Just when life seemed to be going okay, I fell apart, I got lied to
I then found out the truth and I realized someone wasn't who they seemed to be
Everything seemed to be getting messed up

I wanted to be somewhere else; I didn't want to be round anymore
I just wanted to go away from all these people but then my best friend was there
I may not be the best person but I think I deserve a chance, everyone does

Everyone should be given a chance, and not being quick to judge
I know I am not to judge as I have done this to people before I got to know them
I have learnt I am giving everyone a fair chance without rapidly judging them

You never know what will happen; you could become good friends with them
And have a great life; I really hope that some people would just get to know
The real me I wish for all people to think before they judge others

No one likes being criticized or judged, it just makes life harder than it is
I think life isn't about what you look like; but more of who you are inside
And if people don't like that then you shouldn’t let them worry you

Be kind and non judgmental to others and don’t worry about what others think
