Judgements

There seems to a false sense of what it means to be strong.
Some look down on others when they've done something wrong.
But we all live In glass houses and from what I have seen. 
They all have their flaws not any one is pristine.

I try to embrace my mistakes and the times that I fail. 
Never letting opinions take the wind from my sail.
I find my strength comes from hard lessons learned.
So the respect I demand I feel that I've earned.

I have been through more than most will ever know.
This is why in my house never are there stones that I throw.
For who am I to ever judge anyone else?
I would first have to take a good long look at myself.

So if you choose to judge me and think that you could.
Then cast that first stone if you feel that you should.
