Judge me not for choosing the path of least resistance,
For trekking this journey, despite the long and windy distance.
I'd rather move steady, slowly, or fast, but in the flow,
Than stay stuck in the traffic, when there's a better road I know.
Judge me not for leaving things that no longer served me,
Not that I'm ungrateful, but why hang on when I can be free.
Why hold on to toxic people, to incessant negative energies,
When we can create a better life, with positive memories.
Judge me not for not keeping up with your mighty expectations,
For dishonoring and disappointing you, for ruining our relations.
For failing to own up to the success you envisioned for me,
Do you love me any less, if in your eyes I am the failure that you see?
Judge me not for not keeping my very own religion,
For not practicing beliefs and certain traditions.
For not believing everything I was taught,
Without honest resonance, in my heart, I simply cannot.
Though you may not be familiar with the path that I take,
It doesn't mean I'm throwing my life away and my soul is at stake.
With all the varied experiences, beliefs, and perceptions,
Who is right? Who is wrong? We all have our own misconceptions!
Judge me not for the decisions and actions I make in this life,
For you only know the surface, I don't need another strife.
Don't owe anyone an explanation as to why I do the things I do,
To each his own, we have our lives, I'll do me, and you must do you.
Judge me not for embracing a different path than yours,
Our lives are not a competition, we are not keeping scores.
Resonating with a belief that you can't seem to construe,
So, let's agree to disagree as we take on a different avenue.
Judge me not for the answers I boldly strike back,
Defensive or not, but at times I must counteract.
Affirming my beliefs whether you agree or not,
Speaking from my very soul, it's all I've got.
