Don't Judge
Don't judge me for how i live my life day by day
Judge me for how much i care in every way
Don't judge me for what i say or do
Judge me for what i mean to you
Don't judge me when i make mistakes
Judge me for doing all it takes
Don't judge me for the imperfections of my past
Judge instead that i learn't to live with them at last
Don't judge me when i fail life's test
Judge only that i'm human and trying my best
Don't judge me for what i can never be
Judge who i am for being me
Judge me for how much i care in every way
Don't judge me for what i say or do
Judge me for what i mean to you
Don't judge me when i make mistakes
Judge me for doing all it takes
Don't judge me for the imperfections of my past
Judge instead that i learn't to live with them at last
Don't judge me when i fail life's test
Judge only that i'm human and trying my best
Don't judge me for what i can never be
Judge who i am for being me

GONE IS THE MIST
I used to see life as a
chore
All
that was around me was just a bore
Things
in the world just used to exist
I
see their beauty now gone is the mist
Pretty
flowers, towering trees
Sweet
singing birds, and the buzzing bees
All
these things I now notice exist
I
see them more clearly now gone is the mist
Beautiful
shells on the golden sand
Bright
blue sea you can touch with your hand
The
beauty of these didn’t really exist
Until
a breath of wind blew away the mist
Have
you seen the sky at night?
With
twinkling stars that shine so bright
Open
your eyes these things exist
Easy
to find without the mist
Look
how beautiful our world can be
So
many lovely things you can see
I
never knew these things could exist
Until
I opened my eyes and away went the mist
I
love to see all these lovely things
And
all the beauty this world can bring
You
too can see these things exist
If
you open your eyes and you are clear of the mist

The fear
The fear
Without any warning it can creep into your life
Rip into your heart like
a long cold knife
A feeling so real, so
very near
Known to us all it is
called the fear
Situations come from far
and wide
The ones of which make
you want to hide
The reasons why are not
very clear
Why from deep inside
they fill you with fear
You try to make sense of
the way you feel
To other people these
things wouldn’t be such a big deal
It’s hard to control
when it’s placed firmly here
No one should have to
live with the uncontrollable fear
It’s hard to get others
to understand why
There are times you wish
you could curl up and die
These feelings in your
mind need to be made clear
So real to you is your
deep rooted fear
You can control these
feelings if you try
An end to forever
needing to run and cry
No matter what you
shouldn’t put you life on the shelf
You have nothing to fear
but fear itself
