judgement
Holly Szurczynski 1977
Who are you to judging?
Did you forget your skeletons behind the doors?
You rant and rave about everyone else,
Yet, you forgot about yours.
Nobody is perfect,
Each have regrets they made in life,
One day yours will surface,
Oh, they will come to light.
A picture perfect world,
Is what you want others to see,
Deep down the truth is known,
Your mistakes to be.
Don't pass judgement,
Until you look into yourself,
You can't buy happiness,
It can't be bought with wealth.
Each scar we carry,
Is a stepping stone of our life,
Some let it appear,
Others cover it up with lies.
You bring others down,
Just to please you,
Your history book tells all,
Will eventually see what's true.
