who are they to judge me

Forsaken
Rejected
An outcast to all who are near me
But who are they to judge me
Who are they to know my sins?
Do they know my reasons?
Do they know my sacrifice?
Who are they to judge me?

All the pain
All the anger
Unneeded
Uncalled far

Perhaps they are right
Those who judge me by my actions
Perhaps my thoughts are identical
To that which has caused me shame

But even if that is so
Who are they to judge me?
Have they who hate, who lie, who hurt, who judge
Remained clean?
Have they not sinned, those who think they are superior?

All of the lies, the corruption
The tainting of their black hearted souls
Who are they to judge me?

This life has brought me sorrow
This life has brought me joy
This life has brought me pain
This life has brought me the knowledge that all who have lived, and that who shall live are imperfect

For they have sinned, just as I have sinned
They have felt joy, and peace, and madness just as I have

So who are they to judge me?
The sinners, liars, betrayers, and followers
For they who are corrupt just as I am
And shall be and shall always be

The sins I have committed
The sins I remember
The sins I forget
The sins I regret, and shall always for all eternity remember

These are the sins committed by all

So who are they to judge me
