#nonjudgmental poems on Hello Poetry

I Live to Learn.

And that's hard to do with a narrow mind

That's why my eyes are open wide

I don't want to miss a thing

That this world has to offer

Whether it be karma

Or thy Heavenly Father

Don't bother;

I'll think what I want

No one's going to tell me who to be

Or what to believe.

Have a mind of your own

You've got to think for yourself

Don't be blindly following somebody else

And never let other's expectations

Overshadow what you choose to believe in

I choose to believe

In the possibility of anything

Of everything

So what does that make me?

An Agnostic? Or just simply weak?

Neither. It makes me Free.

when my professor and Socrates make a baby

i am waking up
pushing my way through the plastic covering all of the ideas i was never supposed to touch
so many ideas

i am choosing to walk down halls with varied perspective mirrors
i stop at the ones that make me look fat
and don't believe the ones that reflect a flattering figure
i walk on

i observe
i internalize
i try to understand

why do i think the way that i do?
i was born
into a straightjacket
on the rungs of a one-way ladder

never saw that others might be scaling or ascending the same wall
with rope
sheer strength
the stairs

who am i to judge which way is better?
"the injuring of another can be in no case just."

(as long as it's not hurting anyone)

The Downtrodden and their Shoes

Never judge.*
You don't know the condition of their shoes.

The downtrodden have this unique way of hiding themselves. I try to make it my goal not to judge by appearance.
