#judgements
Chairs were made in many forms,
for different hands, for different norms.
But one was placed for all to try,
too high, too low, too stiff, too dry.
It scratched their skin, it bruised their pride,
yet still they sat, and tried to hide.
Until it broke, with quiet despair,
not them, my friend but the unfit chair.

Now, if I have a good idea
Or something that would be beneficial,
Does this mean I am required to share it?
That you are deserving of it
Regardless of my judgements?
If I see you about to do something wrong
Or that I am sure of will be a mistake,
Does that mean I am required to help you?
That you are worthy of it
Regardless of my verdicts?

I rush to speak
When I should be quicker
To pause and think,
Parsing each phrase.
How my words will and could
Be interpreted or construed
And of that, whatever resulting.
Of the checks & balances
We put ourselves through,
What is the material from which
The weights of judgement
Have been constructed?
Pig iron, sterling silver, stainless steel?
And of our choice of counterweights,
What is revealed?

I awaken in darkness
still terrified and running
from the mountain lion.
But what if I’m the prey
of my own judging
captive of my comparisons?
At times I feel those verdicts in my gut
like when I can’t concentrate on a task
I SHOULD be doing.
When I notice my tight gut
and my mind wanting to flee
I can stop trying
and lying to myself
set my imagination free
roam a wilderness I choose
like right here on the flat and fertile plains
of this poem’s lines.

We listen to birds but don't care what they sing,
so let people sing the thing but never let it ring.
Our lungs breathe whether you like it or not,
So let people breathe your name like a shot.
They will do it either way,
So keep being you everyday.
Let their oxygen leave their lungs with your name,
When that happens, u already won the game.

Don't you think it's funny how,
My skin turns blue after the shock of your eye,
How my teeth crack forefeeling an explosion,
But my mouth stays shut,
Right after yours has opened for ever.

No one's there—at the dark
skimpy place.
No one could notice how they
please as a mare.
Seeing her to death, and will act
with no predictable malice.
Perfectly cooking every organs—
a daze.
Laughing out loud like it's just
a dare.
Laughter and tears—they give
a gaze.
Echoing their voice—as you run—
you'll still be chased.
Don't walk in this mortala castle—
sombre.
For you're the next—to die—
to embrace.
In this recondite abstruse space—
Body's heat—lust—will be gaudier,
They'll protude lasciviousness. Die
or taste.
They'll interrupt your halcyon life—
your only ace—
When their attention was caught—
by you—they'll flare.
All you can do; run and haze.
As they're creating lethal discursive
piece—
Slitting you as a carcass in there.
Curtailing your journey as you pace.
You speak, you'll die—don't
be the ness.

So blind, the blind despairs.
So wicked, ***** grieves.
So indistinguishable from evil,
their judgement of evil, truly just.
So indistinguishable from their ruthless enemy,
the utter destruction decreed shall befall both suddenly.
The aggrieved weeps.
The wicked hardens.
Wickedness upon wickedness.
Endurance beyond Lot's,
given, the righteous' lot.

In this court, we call world
All I have is you
But you stabbed me like a sharp sword's
Now I guess you're one of them too
I woke up here full of judgements
With no freedom to my every movements
Please be careful to what you say
For maybe something will happened at the end of the day
Why can't you accept the fact?
The fact that I have bad side
Please crap that act
And reveal that lie you have always hide
Suddenly I found out your betrays
"Truth hurts", that's what they always says
I thought you were my friend
Sorry but I guess your lie has to meet the end

I was in a train
when this old woman looked across
with a confused look.
"What's a pretty girl like you doing over here?"
she said,
her voice trailing with the
jam of stinky
half-brained men.
"My father has passed away. I am here to meet him."
Her face crumpled,
like her tongue had encountered
a sour taste
like her body
had touched dirt,
like her brain managed
to get hold of her daughters darkest secrets.
"I'm sorry" she said, letting out
the sour smell of judgement.
But she wasn't.
She wasn't sorry.
She was an old woman with sunglasses
to hide her scanning eyes,
an old woman with a mask of makeup to hide
the scars of revolution.
She was a stranger.
"You're not really sorry." I said, realizing how I
became her,
a young bag of judgements.

What do you see when you look?
Do you base on race?
If you were white,
Would you be a *****
If you were black,
Would you immediately be a criminal?
If you were asain,
Would you be a genius?
If you were Mexican,
Would your family be large?
Or do you see religion?
If you're muslim,
Are you a terrorist?
If you're Catholic,
Are you stuck up?
If you're Jewish,
Are you greedy?
If you're Baptist,
Are you a hypocrite?
Rather then that is the first thing you see gender or age?
Say you're a woman,
Would you be weak?
Say you're a man,
Would you be the boss?
Say you're young,
Would you be dumb?
Say you're old,
Would you be wise?
Or maybe academics are key?
If you wear glasses,
Does that make you nerdy?
If you are "preppy"
Does that make you mean?
If you play football,
Does that make you a leader?
If you're a cheerleader,
Does that make you a follower?
If you were smart,
Does that mean you are bullied?
If you are dumb,
Does that make you popular?
If you were always loud,
Does that make you ignorant?
If you're always quiet,
Does it make you emo?
So if you use a scholarship,
Does that make you poor?
So you don't use a scholarship,
Does that make you spoiled?
Maybe you go to a private school,
Then are you a snob?
Maybe you go to public school,
Then are you a hoodrat?
Maybe it's appearance first noticed but what does that say?
Cause if you arent a size 0,
Does that make you ugly?
If you aren't big enough,
Does that make you unhealthy??
If you weren't muscular,
Does that make you scrawny?
If you're muscular,
Does that mean you're trying too hard?
So you've got blond hair,
But does that mean you're stupid?
Or maybe red hair,
Does that mean youre quick to lose your temper?
If you wear makeup,
Does that mean you're hiding?
If you don't wear makeup,
Does that mean you're boring?
If you care what other think,
Are you self conscious?
If you don't care what others think,
Are you conceited?
What about....
What about if you were just you?
Would you be the same?
Would you be seen differently?
These things shouldn't matter.
But they do.
Oh so much
First impressions are most important
But oh so tough.
Why are you based on what you look like,
Or what you believe.
Why are you based on your gender,
Or how you do in school?
Judgements shouldn't be made,
But they are every single day.
In every single way.
But these things don't define you,
They don't explain you nor I.
We all bleed the same,
We see the same.
So why?
It doesn't matter if you're black or if your white.
It doesn't matter if you're Catholic or Muslim.
It doesn't matter if your skin is wrinkled or tight.
It doesn't matter if you're a woman or a man,
And it doesn't matter what size you wear.

Doing wrong is a judgment that IS inside the HEAD,
It is not the way HUMANS are meant to live and tread.
We must all align in love, to be true to our paths.
When we do we will feel peace, and have a super blast.
For with light and compassion, the road of dreams we’ll find.
Moving inside we will lean, that everyones’s divine.
Divine to share with love so grand, is what to do each day,
To people, and animals, I bow as I do pray.
Pray that all align with love to feel the power true.
Read this poem to catch its drift, for now my cause is through.

I am deaf.
I am deaf when people bring up a traumatizing or embarrassing moment and tease me about it; when people think it's okay because it's just a "joke."
I am deaf when people point out my insecurities; my crooked teeth, my unruly hair, my body and the scar on my forehead: the things I can't control about myself.
I am deaf when people use my gender against me, ostracize me on things because I am a girl; when they think I am only living to cook, clean and make myself pretty, when they use the line: "Kababae **** tao..."
I am deaf when people mock my faith and shame me for my principles, the things I believe in and what I fight for; when they say "eh di wow" "dami **** alam" or such.
I am deaf when people tell me they will leave or I should leave, saying I am "too much" or "I don't give enough;" when people make me feel inadequate and dismiss me over petty reasons.
I am deaf when people pick on me, use my past and mistakes against me; when people fail to see who I am, and what I am today.
I am deaf, but my heart hears it all.

As I sit in the station
A kid comes into view
Extremely obnoxious
Raunchy and rude
He wears lots of spikes
Has piercings galore
Wears his hair in a mohawk
Biker boots on the floor
My Flesh wants to judge him
As a Punk and a Freak
But my spirit is willing
For Your eyes to seek...
*Oh, give me Your vision
Let me see through Your eyes
Let me not judge the lost ones
In no way despise
They could be Your jewels
They could be Your prize
Oh, let me be gentle
Let me see through Your eyes*
I go to a restaurant
And there at the place
Stands a derelict person
With pain in his face
He stares at my burger
And it is clear
He's starving hungry
And covets my beer
Do I move from the window
And relinquish my seat?
Or buy him a burger
And french fries to eat...
Chorus
There's a lesbian woman
Next door where I am
She has a Butch haircut
Is hooked with a femme
She has a loud voice
A masculine walk
We never converse
We never talk
We say polite things
Goodbye & hello
But she might be hurting
How could I know?
Chorus
Jesus I'm blind
I'm deaf & I'm mute
I want Your compassion
I want to bear fruit
Let me see through Your eyes
Let me hear with Your ears
Let me speak with Your voice
Assuage all their fears
Give me Your hands
To dry all their tears
Chorus
The enemy waits
To tell them his lies
Let me feel Your mercy
Let me see through Your eyes

I know
and you also know
the girl
the fair little girl
who was sitting in the back bench
had thrown your confidence
into a scroll
even if
your mother told you
thousand times
you are
her beautiful doll
But the day
you learned to
walk on the street
with heels on
and your dark eyes
got the ability
to throw
the darker smoke around you
into the sky
that day
you showed
and I learned
being fair
is no more require
to set the world
in fire
But one day
surely one day
a darkness, darker than night
will stand before you
and that day
to cross that darkness
and feel the light again
you need to be fair
and remember
your fairness is the only thing
you should care

Let me taste the smouldering ashes of your regret
I want you to feel me burning this time
Just a whiff just will not cut the mustard this day..
I need to know your sorry but not through your words or your actions
I want it to be sewn to my life ****** so I can show the world how I've been wronged.
I need to stumble this time for real, coughing air too intoxicated to breathe and spit blood I know for certainty could not of been my own.
To paralyse this fear in me and finally have something to call my own
This moment
"I wanted to breathe smoke"

**it seems the last leaf has fallen
final mast no mend~upon the sea
bread in the cupboard
overcome with white and green
what they could take
they took
has been taken
For the moment, all's been lost
monetary security's an illusion
the reality of what
procrastination and
misjudgedment cost
time to tend this abandoned garden
release the focus from myself
this physical plane feels haphazard
time to put fear n' panic
up on the shelf
my poetry speaks my heart
allows me clarity,
humbled by wealth of beauty
knowing I am
Blessed with Strength of Self**

Over and over you love to judge.
Genuine at times or due to grudge.
Your approach frank and upfront.
Your judgments brute and blunt.
Judgement on anyone and everyone.
You judge all, you spare none.
O you innocent! if you only knew.
All your judgments will judge you.

You would never know
By my silence
And my smile.
That I hate myself
And I hate everyone else, too.
You would never know
By the way he drinks his alcohol
Every night,
That he wakes up early every morning,
To water his daughter's memorial flowers.
You would never know
By the way she laughs at others
That she is afraid.
That one day,
She will receive the laughter.
You would never know
By the exposing clothing she wears
That when she was younger
Her stepfather
Taught her a lesson.
You would never know
By the way he bullies others
That when he goes home
His father,
Bullies him.
You would never know
Just by looking at us,
That we are all messed up.

If you ever feel rejected by perfection,
know that perfection isn't even an invention.
Perfection only exists in the eyes of critics,
in the imagination of teenage girls,
in the harsh judgements of your surrounding,
and in the person you someday wish to become.

Our sanity cannot be measured by words or colorful amounts of profanity because only we can judge the reflection we see. If this is true then why doesn't my image stare back at me? When I look into my eyes I can see I'm chasing myself away, how can I be normal if everything I do or say is perceived with enormous amounts of disregard and negativity that I see only as decay? Its uncanny but I'm sure with each passing day I'll figure out what is really blocking my way.
