Don’t tell me how I should live.
Don’t judge me because of how I feel,
how I pray,
how I see the world,
how I live.
Don’t think that your words
are all that there is.
I am who I am.
If you do not like what you see,
please,
leave.
I will not keep you
if you do not want to stay.
Just remember,
your actions,
your words
will tell who you are,
how you feel,
how you live.
Sooner or later you will have to answer
for all that you have done,
said.
It will not be I who judge you,
but you will
in the end
be judged.
I know I am not perfect,
I have flaws.
We all do.
I can live with most of mine.
Can you?
