Skeleton In the Closets

I plead with you 
not to judge me 
by just meeting 
me one time.
I would not judge 
you but I would 
like to know you.
There are court
rooms for those
who need to be
judged for the
wrongs they did.
No one should
judge anyone due
to their past wrongs.
We all make bad
choices sometimes.
Accusing with out the
facts is horrible to do.
I thought only one man
is our judge and jury so
why do we judge so
 quickly causing  others
to be hurt by their words.
It is not suppose to be 
like this it makes me sad,
So, many are quick to judge
me for my past and mistakes 
that I have made in my life.
Those that do the judging for
get they to have a past filled
with mistakes and Skeletons 
locked away in their Closets!
