When you judge me
How does it feel
When you let the full force of your venom
Rain down on me
What inside of you is relieved
When this river of pain
Runs through my veins
When there is nothing left to stem the flow
Of all the things you make me carry
Anger, violence, shame
Do you care about how it makes me feel
It seems not
There is no time for you to even consider
A heart that is breaking
As soul that is aching
A spirit that is shaking
Trying to release itself
From longings turned to hurtful purpose
Sometimes I am not sure
How much more pain
One being can contain
When judgement allows not even one shred
Of mercy
Too many are quick to judge but not quick to listen.
