I was always quick with my words

Stating my opinions

When I was most expected to be reserved

Most did not approve.

I had a friend I thought understood me

But she married a man for money

That I could’ve had but readily declined

Most did not approve.

I hated the man that I love

For ruining my sister’s future

For being so unapproachable and full of pride

I did not approve.

I made my own assumptions

And found out almost too late

That judging before you hear two sides of the story

Can affect your fate.
