Don't Judge Me

Don't judge me

I am not what you see

I know I have Birth defects

I know I was born differant than you

I have risen above my problems

To show you my heart beats true

Don't judge me

For the scares upon my skin

They do not define me

Nor the soul that lies within

I just want to be accepted

I just want to be friends

Don't judge me

You have no idea what I've been through

The surgeries

The pain

The heartache

The rain

Cuts and bruises from defending myself

from bullies like you

So shut your mouth

Don't judge me

My birth defects

My problems

Are just a small part of my life

Look beyond all that

See me through new eyes

Don't judge me

Thou I may not be

As smart as you

I am not dumb

I do have a brain

I do know how to use it

Don't judge me

Yes I have birth defects

I am not ashamed

I work hard to rise above

So please stop calling me names

Don't judge me

I just want to be loved

Is that asking to much

To look beyound my outershell

To see who I truly am

Don't judge me

I am human

Not a freak
