PREJUDICE

Don’t judge me,
You haven’t walked my shoes a mile,
You don’t know battles I’ve fought on the frontline,

I haven’t beseeched your opinion,
I’ve only posed you respect my decisions,
My life choices,

Lots of chatter,
The veil of deceit,
The cloak of trickery,
Anything you utter bluntly
goes down the drain,

Am no saint, am prone to error,
Am not perfect, that’s by make,
Success blossoms from mistakes,
Am work in progress,
With no speck of doubt, am where I ought to be,
