"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

Now I face reality, standing in line

But instead of being in a child's place

God switched me to view another one's eyes

And stuck me in my mother's past time
