Never judge anyone, it is not your place
You do not know the story, behind the tears, smile or exhaustion on a face
Some people show happiness, while others show sadness
Some have their shit together, and others are a hot mess
Everyone handles their issues in different ways
Some have amazing days while others terrible days
Death, divorce, loss of a job, addiction to name a few
Many really just don’t know how they’ll make it through
But somehow they get up everday and put that fake smile on
Or are just miserable, wondering and questioning why it’s all gone
Never judge anyone, many may just be born with a simple or sad look
But weren’t we always taught to never judge the title of a book
Do not push anyone away, never judge, and give everyone a chance
Listen and talk without judgement, don’t base an opinion on first glance
You may be surprised at what you find out
When you give someone a chance, you realize what they are all about
Instead of believing the stories of someone or something that you hear
Guaranteed for most they were twisted by someone using assumptions or who were once near
For some it lifts others up when they tear others down
They don’t want to be targeted, like the bad people in town
Don’t get me wrong, not all will be worth the time and this we may see
Never judge, have an open mind, but never allow others to make that choice for you or me
