You Can’t Judge Me

By DJ

You got me all wrong
I’m not a bad person
My looks can’t tell my actions
My choice of words
Doesn’t mean I don’t have a good vocabulary 
You can’t judge me
You can’t take my kindness for weakness
You don’t know me
You can’t hold me back
I refuse to prove you right
I’ve tried so hard to change my life
You can’t judge me

    DJ, Your writing is very honest and pure. I like the convincing argument you make about why people cannot judge you. I encourage you to continue writing to express your thoughts on paper and share your insights with others. One of my favorite lines is: “You can’t take my kindness for weakness.” This shows that you are not afraid to be true to yourself and others by showing your kind side. Keep up the good work and pour out your thoughts on paper!
