Who are you to judge me, you who had someone to swing you high as a child and not let go? Who are you to judge me, you who had someone to tell you it would be alright when your heart broke? Who are you to judge me, you who had someone who meant the words said that day and stayed by your side? Who are you to judge me, you who had someone to help raise a child in this world� an awesome task? Who are you to judge me, you who had someone you could count on to be a friend through anything? Who are you to judge me, you who had someone who said, �We love you, will be your home. You belong?� Who are you to judge me, you who had someone to tell about cancer scare, threat of early death? Who are you to judge me, you who had someone to hold onto day twin towers came crashing down? Who are you to judge me, you who had someone to love like I love you to love you back the same? Who are you to judge me, you who had someone to tell you truth of what happened, to set you free?

Awesome work, Dawn! I used to use "creative spacing" like that, but stopped when I found that my poetry was never published in said form. . . . What a disappointment that was! It was fun, though -- I shall have to begin experimenting with it again!

On the "content" side -- I am *so* happy that you're asking that question! "Judge not lest ye be judged. . . ." You tell 'em, girlfriend! If you wanted to be a doormat, you would advertise for it on a T-shirt! Since there is no such advertising, all oppressive feet attempting to hold you down shall be removed immediately! By order of the owner! Good for you! You know you deserve *far* better!

A good case for judge not lest ye be judged!
Sad reflections of what you didn't have,and should have.

Both pain and powerful resolve. Nicely done.
