Save Your Judgement

You'd think that it would be easy 
to malfunction as I do. 
In the eyes of those who see me
clearly one and one are two. 
However, it's not that basic,
for, when in these shoes, they'll see, 
that it must be quite the trick,
when one and one are three. 
They all seem to know the "right" answers,
yet if they were in my skin,
they would be frozen, just standing there,
when I must run for my life, once again. 
Something that they need to learn,
as they holdfast to their grudge,
my life, my problems, they're my concern,
who the hell are they to judge??

I love the message here! Only we can see through our own lenses and sometimes things make sense only to ourselves and that's perfectly okay.
