Don't Judge Me

I’m sensitive
Like extra sensitive
Not like
“I’ma tell mommy on you
For making fun of me” sensitive
But “a couple movies
(one or more may or may not
Have been made by Disney)
Some sad songs here or there
And some of my own poetry
Has made me cry at some point” sensitive

Don’t judge me

I like chocolate
To say I’m obsessed with it
Would be an understatement
3 Musketeers, M&Ms
Kit Kats & Crunch bars
Are some of the greatest
Cavity creators ever
But they’re not my favorite sweet
Top spot
Goes to cherry flavored
Twizzlers
Pull N’ Peel

Go Figure

Don’t judge me

The Beatles
Madonna
Elvis Presley
& Bruce Springstein
Can all kiss my ass
Simultaneously
Yeah….
I said it

Don’t judge me

If they had boxed DVD sets
Of the seasons of
Rugrats, Eureka’s Castle
Gullah Gullah Island
Original Power Rangers
Recess, Dexter’s Laboratory
& The Powerpuff Girls
I’d buy them all

Don’t judge me

Now that I think about it
Some of the songs from
The Backyardigans
And Dora The Explorer
Are dope

Shut up
Don’t judge me

Since we’re talking about my childhood
I’ve had only two incidents
Where I’ve urinated
But somehow all the pee
Landed on me
Publicly

Don’t judge me

One of which was in 3rd grade
Back when they had a bathroom
In each classroom
I’m standing there
Facing the toilet
When I notice the door’s open
A little bit

A freshly mopped floor plus
Pants and ninja turtle undies
Around my ankles are the things
I forget
When I foolishly reach for the
Doorknob
To grab it

So what happens??
I slip
Trip
Landing on my back
Never forgetting
The feeling of my urine
Hitting my own lips

Stop laughing
Don’t judge me

The worst experience
I’ve ever had sexually
(well one of the worst experiences
Of my life in general actually)
Was when I lost my
Virginity
To this day
I’m still reminded of it
Anytime I see
A girl eating
Buffalo wings

Don’t judge me

I’ve both loved too hard and not enough

Don’t judge me

Sometimes I play too much

Don’t judge me

I lack confidence

Don’t judge me

I’ve broken too many hearts… including my own

Don’t judge me

My friends and family are so much better than yours

Don’t judge me

I hate asking for help

Don’t judge me

As you can see… I like to crucify myself

Don’t judge me

Despite my insecurities
Embarrassing yet hilarious stories
The fact I can face accept and laugh
At these things
Just add to my glory

Maybe you should do the same
Maybe you should put a mirror
In ya brain
To reflect on your memories
Maybe transparent is the way to be

I know for me
It saved me
From me

So do me a favor
Judge and then love yourself
Await the verdict
From your own jury

I’ve received mine already

Making it real easy
For me to speak

Don’t judge me
