Do you really know
the person that I am?
Do you really understand
what it takes to be me?
You all know just a small
portion of the poet I am.
You all know just a tidbit
of the troubles I have known.
Yet, there are many here
that have sat in judgement of me.
But, do they really care
if they give off false statements to others?
No one really, truly knows all
that there is to me,
no one that is but me at times.
For even then, I do not know it all.
For I am growing each day,
growing into whom I will be
just before death takes my hand.
So, do not judge what you do not know.

Brilliant take on the prompt
You are dear a very loving compassionate woman
that I am proud to call my Sis
This piece sends a very powerful message...
who has the right to judge others...to judge me...
the only one that deserves this right is God
and that is only our concern, no body else's buisness
Bravo
Wish you the best of luck
Much love Sis
David

Many blessings on your travels through life, hon!
Love ya loads,

Sis, you are and always have been one of the most open and honest people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting online. This is what makes you so special to so many of us on this site.
You did an amazing job with this prompt. Good luck in the contest.

Well Honey
If you'll give me the time I would love to know just who you are. But for now I love the woman I know to be you and that's good enough for me. Riftkin (Joann) I love you with all my heart and soul. Forever yours, Rick
