Who are you to judge



Who are you to look at me and so self-righteously judge
I have survived the monsters that creep from emotional sludge
The ones that pull and rip at you even at your very best
The ones that cause your heart to ache immensely beneath your chest
You have not been even close to the furnace where I am
You could not hold up for one minute in this storm where I stand
Do not pretend you understand empathize with or see me
You know nothing of my inner demons that refuse to free me
Faith is nothing without the unbridled will to fight
Put down your plastic condemning faux sword of right
Phony concern and a thinly masked condescending face
Go back from where you came this is not your place
Take your cliches and your advice and ride them home
I’d rather continue the unwinnable battle honorably and alone
Say what you want to my face or… wait til my back is turned
It is not my self-respect and unforgiving soul that will be burned
I have always followed my heart come what will or what may
Will you still be able to look at yourself in the mirror every day
As insignificant as I am you are no angel… no… better than me
Maybe someday you will come closer to a great… weight lifting epiphany  
Daggers and blame solve nothing and all of us should be free
