Don'T Judge

I’m not sure what they are all expecting When they turn to look at me I’m not the one wanting to be put on a pedestal I can’t light the moon for all to see I’ve seen the disapproval in their eyes In some of the ways I live my life I know the gift I was given Memories burned within; that I relive every night They I guess don’t understand at all Only to a few to whom I explain Like you I’m human on the inside What gives you the right to judge my pain? So continue with your whispers; go on and continue with the glare I’ve never taken life for granted, will I explain or am I wasting air If you want to try to understand; I’ll let you in for a little peak Be careful for what you wish for, and remember its pity I don’t seek So don’t judge me for the way I live Don’t assume for me you know what’s right I’m a man who never claimed to be perfect Please don’t ever put me in that light You should know I would do anything for anyone Ask my friends or others in life that I’ve met For my family and friends I’d lay my life down for It’s time I’ve borrowed, and I know one day I must pay that debt I live my life as it comes; to the fullest and sometimes the extreme I can’t live my life like I’ve only three months to live I have played that game once and it wasn’t a dream.
