I know rejection and judgment well

I had to live with it
Through all hardship

The pain
I carried alone
The long lonely years of illness caused by evil

I know betrayal
Being used, humiliated, criticized

And acknowledgement
Ever withhold
Until no self-worth remained

I know rejection and judgment well

I had to live with it
Because of gossip and lies

I had to live with it
Because a straight path I insisted to walk
Spoke my truth with strong emotion

I had to live with it
Even after times of need when I turned up before even asked

I know rejection and judgment well
With compassion I wish you well
‘Human’ Beings

May You Be Blessed!
