Who Am I To Judge


The unbreakable but yet unbearable hurt from family and friends

I am nothing but, a survivor of handling devils in my past

Those devils were family or so I thought

Those obstacles have been over came into something greater

This is who I am and no one can change that

This is what has made me the person I am today.

I am nothing like my loved ones, I care about others

I care about the world around me and money doesn’t truly matter

I get to do what I love for the person I love

My light and joy who just came into the world

This is who I am and nothing can change that

I am just a girl in a trapped bubble lodged between moving mountains

Wanting to break free from greedy family and fake friends

Once those mountains move, I will move on to greater heights

Those heights will provide opportunity and greatness for my future family

This is who I am
