How To Judge Me

I really like to be myself
When people tell me I am not good enough....
I turn around and walk away
Not because I'm weak
But because they aren't someone that I want to talk to
So you see...
Don't tell me that I'm not good enough for
My beliefs
My looks
My actions
Judge me
On how I write
On how I act
Above all on how I treat you

    Well, In my book honesty is everything.

    You have stated what I believe to be a very important factor!! Always write what you want to write and never let anyone else tell you anything different.

    All the best,

    Fantastic message! I do admit to being a judgmental bitch at times, but honestly, who am I to say someone's not good enough? More people should read this piece.

    I do agree with Shadow Haze about the lack of poetic devices in this, though as this poem is, it does convey a message. When you write next, though, keep imagery, metaphor, other poetic devices, form, metre, and so forth in the back of your mind. If you're not good with that kind of thing, there are plenty of websites that will explain & give examples of poetic terms.

    Keep writing!

    Welcome To Allpoetry

    You make a great point. But who are we to judge? I base my 'opinion' on who people are inside, and what they reflect to the world. I agree with you that our actions and what we say is what matters. AP is glad to have you here and we all hope that you enjoy the site! If you have any questions, just ask We are here to assist you.

    This doesnt really sound like a poem it is more of a plea, and a message. It doesn't have to many poetic elements try the use of metaphors and other such poetical devices. I really like the message though. I can relate. Your backround and the way you arranged the lines was pleasing to the eye. The ending tied everything together nicely, but I want to feel more emotion not just a lecture on how others should treat you.
