Before you judge my hair
Ask me how bad it was when illness made me lose it all
Before you judge my sense of style
Ask me how well hand me downs matched when I was a child
Before you judge my distaste for labels
Ask me about the ones I unfairly wore
Before you judge my gender choices
Ask me about a family that only cared for boys
Before you judge my sexual deviance
Ask me about my childhood rape
Before you judge my abandonment issues
Ask me why my mother left
Before you judge my urgency for perfection
Ask me about being told I was never good enough
Before you judge me
Walk a mile in my shoes.
