    Poem Commentary

    "Do Not Judge" is the first poem I wrote only two few weeks ago... Inspired by my battle with ill health and people's often distorted perception of what someone with chronic ill health 'should look like'! Also having lost my job through illness and my lonely existance.

    Do Not Judge

    Do not judge, for I am ME!

    Do not judge, for what you see,

    Beneath the mask and elaborate show,

    Is one fragile soul, dispirited, low.


    Why can’t you stop once in a while?

    A greeting offered with a smile…

    Take the time to stop and say,

    Hello you, how is your day?


     How can you understand my pain?

    Your interest is with material gain,

    No time for others, just inspired by wealth…

    How would you feel if you lost your health?


    You take for granted every day,

    Come for once, and walk my way!

    Hold my hand breathe my air…

    Maybe then, would you care?

     

    Do not judge, for I am ME

    Do not judge for what you see,

    For beneath these tired, weary eyes:

    A lonely, broken, child cries!

    ***

    Thank-you for your positive feedback which I find very encouraging.

    Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
