"You shouldn't judge others position and assume that you know what is best for them. You truly never know how is feels to be where they are; until God puts you in their place"
"The observant of the eye may be cruel and hurtful, but the experience of the heart makes it even harder to let go."
-A dedication to my mom
I take a step back and I look at what I have
Then a flash from the past steps forward
Makes me realize that my greatest fear also remains in the future
All of my life I've judged her past
Never thinking twice that her life was just as bad
Always assuming that she deserved better
But every time I changed her life, it only became worse
As God comes in, testing me if I would stick to my words
That I once spoke before
I found myself weak, unable to close the same door
I look around and I realize I am reliving her life
God just put me in her position, to make me see what it would feel like
Then I look at the others, finally understanding that God is testing them too
To put us in her position, Just to see what we would do
To see if we would realize that we are falling into her mistakes
God judges us everyday, just to see how much we can really take
I look at my man, I see the resemblance of someone that I use to hate at the end
How much suffrage and pain they put her through
My hatred for them just grew
Now it hurts to see the same in his eyes
But his greatest fear still holds him back
Though I'm scared that he would just snap
Then another flash back ran across my mind
Of an image of my mother being the victim of their crime
