Dont Judge

Hey have you ever thought 
Look at her she’s so fake 
Well maybe that’s why she’s distraught
Maybe she is trying to hide her mistake

The next time you look and say
Look at him he is pathetic, so mild
See his bruises, the ones they gave today
Tell me then that he is like a useless child

Well you see that girl with killer heels
The one that acts so loose
Well she hasn’t got a good deal
She goes home to her mother’s abuse

You know nothing about the kid
But see only the acts he commits
Don’t see the father from which he hid
Nor the scar from his father’s drunken fits

So don’t tell me you don’t judge 
When you see the young girl with a bump
You think she’s a fool, and hold a grudge
But there is a reason she tried to jump

There is more to a book than a cover
There is pain cause from others
There are crimes committed by a lover
There are different reasons why people suffer
