#judgmental
They measure me in whispers and glances, in standards I never chose. Too loud. Too quiet. Too much. Not enough. You call it “opinion,” I call it judgment— dressed up in politeness so it sounds acceptable. You scan me like a checklist, decide my worth in seconds, then wonder why no one feels enough. But tell me— who gave you the scale? You build your confidence on someone else’s cracks, call it “standards,” call it “facts.” And here’s the funny part— for someone so busy judging, you’re painfully desperate to be accepted too. Perfect,right?

Reality of our Society
They say that the truth is a hard thing to take, but maybe it’s time that we see that we as a people are nothing but fake, ensuring that’s how it will be.   We stand up demanding there’s tolerance, doing so with our fists in the air. It’s truly the oddest dance ever been danced, hypocrisy beyond compare.   We claim we want peace, but we seek the next fight as we keep our guns close to the door. Convincing ourselves that we stand for what’s right when the truth is we’re actually just bored.   We say that we want to be free men, while we ride our past into the ground. We claim that we run from our demons, but we really just keep them around.   And we live our lives waiting for the next offense, needing others to kindle the flame. We’re a common collective without common sense like the scarecrow not having a brain.   So, let’s go on pretending we live for the truth but the truth is we’re living a lie, for each soul who actually lives for the truth… we find a way to crucify.

Crucifixion
Fleeting be the depth you preach. Commanding the quarrel you've coated in softness. Disillusioned by your mind as you cower to the images you’ve sought to parent. Hypocritical? Hypocritical. You’re fearful and pitiful.

To the girl with moldavite and Lexapro in her purse,
We are asked to be nonjudgmental, for the failures of others especially the aged. Even when they have wasted their whole life with foolish acts. How are we to blame when they have failed to understand the game. Angered at our positive criticism public turn against us. This attitude of the crowd spoils the chance of at least one fallen mend his ways. The ladder to survival is steep and long making it difficult to hang on. We trick our mind into believing in fate convincing ourselves with words such as that's his fate non can change.

Non judgemental
I trusted everyone I know I was so kind towards everyone But they took it for granted But when I turn to the dark side Everyone asked why But they only judge me without knowing the reason That’s why I’m always the bad guy.

Friends say we do not work The same from family Many different people think With you I should not be

Truth and Lies
Objection, your Honor! On behalf of the accused, I demand that this excessively harsh sentence be reduced! Beside that, Your Honor Can judgement be dispensed Behind the subject’s back and without hearing his defense? Moreover, Your Honor Is this what you call fair? To destroy, with zero evidence a man and his career? But answer me, Your Honor —Though I highly doubt you can— Who gave you the authority to judge your fellow man?

In Defense
Music is music One can not help their feet as they move accordingly One genre is not meant for a single person alone Music does not judge it encourages many no matter of their race or gender define yourself in those lyrics and don't let pop culture get in the way

Tap to the Beat
Music fades away when you arrive Spreading the doom with every stride The stare of hatred locked in your eyes Sinister cravings behind sacred lies You want me to beg You want me to look You want me to bend And follow your rules Judging from throne made out of gold Taken from people that you control Deep in your cave, the smell of decay Surrounded by slaves, you ***** on their brain You want me to pray You want me to lay Down on the floor While you’re taking my pay Kingdom of blind, darkness inside The bread and the wine, poisonous bite Be sure that someday the people will rise You will back down when they finally realize You want them to beg You want them to cry You feed on their weakness That’s how you survive The blindfold developed some holes by the time Now we can see what’s on the other side You made yourself bed with flameable lies With spark it will turn into ocean of fire You want me to beg You want me to pray You want me to dive And make me obey You are destroying the lives with your madness Leaving them cold, fearful and helpless You spit out your words, shooting out aimless I stand up to you now, ready and shameless.

Sins of the sacred
Have you ever wondered why the world is so rough? These plains break and mold from those like you. Trampling in no order- only you, decide what remains, while the rest of that mind, listens to the lies of the world. How high your head must be, what little oxygen you must get, for your ignorance is as fluffy as a cloud. You see what you wish in the sinful… oh, how the crime is you. Sincerely yours, The Suppressed Dirt

Foolish Giant
a swinging gavel is coming down, smashing the glass mirror, that once showcased, my stupidity. it is blatantly clear now. the mirror is no longer a necessity, or an aiding constant, that I never utilized, to my benefit.

The life of a Youtuber new and just trying hardly any subscribers and barely surviving She pulls out her camera and then everyone stares she's vlogging publically and suddenly everyone cares had she have no camera she'd be just a normal girl no one would even look her way and judge her like an ungodly pearl yet she still talks to the screen for they are her only friends the 19 subscribers she talks to without end she smiles as she watches her view count go up to 40 and dreams of the day it'll turn into 60 She posts and posts but what no one really sees is the girl behind the camera in real life, she'd freeze she's now in the store and talking to her screen people look at her like she's crazy and she wishes she couldn't be seen But someday she'll earn ten millions of subscribers and those very same people will love her with each one of their fibers So she just keeps on going hoping and wishing that someday she'll make it so she just keeps on keeping.

"too quick to judge"
They say that bodies come in all shapes and sizes. that all are beautiful and lovable... Everyone has a different character too... why don't we try to love and understand them all. Change in any way, means denying ones true self. Just because you're different, doesn't mean you're all bad.

Embrace..
Would people have been more kinder and affectionate, if only the world didn’t misunderstand niceness on a daily basis? How come we live with such a distorted view that we are afraid of being good to each other? From the fear of being judged. From the fear of being ridiculed. From the fear of being burdened forever. From the fear of being taken advantage of. From the fear of being looked down on.

There are so many things that you can judge upon; all I ask from you is to act as if my soul has long since gone.

Evil abound in the dark night air The watcher is waiting As you feel its blood thirsty stare Sweat starts to form On your brow and your cheek As fear grabs your voice So you cannot even speak Icy fingers of terror Run down your neck to your back As you nervously anticipate The demons vicious attack Palm to your chest You feel your heart race As the blood starts to slowly Drain from your face White as if paper Ashen colored with fright As you imagine the unbearably Painful first bite Fear in your heart And tears in your eyes As you try to be brave And await its surprise It steps from the shadows And into full view The hideous evil That was waiting for you With the light you now see A form and its shape Wondering what’s in store And wanting death over **** But to your relief Through tearful eyes you now see It’s not evil or hateful As you believed it to be It stands in the light Unthreatening and at ease Not wanting to harm But only to please The wings on its back Are now spread wide and of white That shines with a pleasing Soft gleaming light Its features so beautiful And wondrous to see Your fear and the terror Are suddenly set free For this is not a creature Of death, evil or hate But a loving blessed angel From heavens front gate In that moment it was clear All your life you did waste For fearing the unknown And judging in haste

Evil Abound
I remember the interrogation room, I can still hear the voices boom, Each question that was in burned inside my head, Has informed and destroyed me. I can still feel, The clock of time, ticking by, It's keeps reminding me, This argument keeps going on and on, And we both know we are done. I don't have a voice lawyer, That can talk back and defend me. So I have to sit and take it. The room is growing smaller, Which is quite concerning because it was quite tiny already.   My interrogators want me to talk, But they only want to hear what they want to hear.   So I stay silent, because I can't give them what they want. They keep shining this spotlight on me, And I feel so small, maybe there winning, Because I just keep agreeing. When I leave this interrogation room, I know I’ll change myself all of again, Because I aim to please, And I never wish to go through that ever again.

Judgmental Interrogators
craters won’t move but some things have to stay where they are made. humans are not one of those things. the folks who move all smile, the people that stay are unusually angry they can’t preserve themselves. but that is a strong accusation kind of an ******* judgment

my hair is naturally curly. i straighten it everyday. my face is smooth and clean. i apply makeup to it everyday. my body is thin yet curvy. i frown in the mirror everyday. why do you define me by my outward appearance? why do you think my face, my hair, and my body are the only things that matter? i used to be so content with myself. i used to think i was beautiful. then society came along and ruined that. society came along and told me i wasn't good enough, pretty enough, skinny enough. what about my heart? what about the love that i lost in an attempt to fix myself? what about my thoughts? do they matter? can't you judge me by the content in my soul, and the content outside of it? am i enough now? this empty shell of the confident person i used to be? will i ever be enough?
