Judgement..

I was born so delicate
I was judged by my colour my weight my sex
What would the future hold for me
Was the question in everyone had
As I bawled my lungs off

In school teachers judged me
When my marks were below par
I was compared to the topper
To show what a failure I was

Parents were judgemental
As it was the past time of their peers
Why don’t you exercise be slim
So we can find a good suitor

Not to be left out were my friends
Like a chameleon they changed colours
Like a glue they stuck to me
When it was my birthday or I had more pocket money

In the workplace again I was judged
What background did I come from
What were my qualifications
Every aspect of mine was scrutinised
Till I lost my confidence

Marriage was the biggest department of life
Where everyone judged me right left and centre
Few compliments were paid but insults were higher
Sometimes I wondered which stock market I had entered

Today realisation has dawned it had to be me
Who had to take the reins of responsibility
I was responsible for my self my decisions after I grew up
Feedbacks judgements were just compliments
To make me grow and ponder

I thank everyone
Who has complimented and also belittled me
Every word that had come out was for a greater purpose
Which today I realise
My heart is filled with gratitude
For whoever has touched my life
