You have not seen You have not seen where I've walked Nor where I am going You have not seen what plagues me Nor why my tears have fallen
You have not heard You have not heard my story Nor my cries of sorrow that bellow in the night
You do not understand You do not understand why I fear to trust Nor the memories of which I try to escape You do not understand why I hide in shame Nor the darkness of my own mind
You have not been asked to walk where I've walked Nor stand, if even for a moment, where I have been forced to stand firm You have not been asked to stand in the darkness I've with held Nor have you been asked to hear the dreadful cries in the night
You have not been asked to look into the dark where you never thought you would ever walk You have not been asked to understand
So there - Do not judge me unless you have judged you Do not tell me my wrong doings until you have found your own Do not judge me until you have walked a mile or two in my own shoes I am not saying you own life has not been a struggle I am saying that you can't judge me until you have judged you
