Have you ever felt judged by someone that just doesn’t understand you, and you get tired of trying to explain yourself? Some people can be so infuriating, especially when they think they have you pegged before they even attempt a discussion.
At least it makes for some inspired poetry.
Judge Me
Feel free to judge me,
From way on high,
Up top that ivory tower.
I’ve witnessed, many times
Before,
Dispositions turning sour.
Your words may carry weight,
With some,
But they’re feathers on my back.
I’m so used to being judged,
Because,
I struggle, to fit in with the pack.
If you make no effort, to understand,
Another point of view,
Then why should I explain, sincerely,
Why I do the things I do?
If you’re hoping I’ll concede,
To a stubborn ego,
Please!
From down below,
I can see you breathe,
An air of superiority.
If it’s all the same to you,
I may expect
To cut you free.
~
It’s not to say
I can’t confess,
When I know I’m in the wrong.
I seek to do no harm,
I’ve just evolved to be
Headstrong.
~
You could talk with me,
Sensibly,
The way, I hope, I’d talk to you.
Otherwise,
Don’t be surprised,
If I just reject the words you spew.
I’m not afraid
Of your masquerade,
The way you make it
A dinner and a show.
I judge the words
By the character,
Of the one behind the row.
~
Judge me,
~
Please!
~
It doesn’t bother me,
If I anger you,
Maybe, I’m doing something
Right?
You can’t appease them all,
Sometimes,
It’s illogical to feel contrite.
I will be me,
And you be you,
Acting out of spite.
~
The funny thing about feedback,
Which I’m certain you will learn,
The ones who speak
In words uncouth,
Tend to take it in return.
You can waste your time,
Obsessed with those,
With whom you disagree,
And I will waste my time,
Ignoring you,
It’s my solemn
Guarantee!
