F& GC #26- Villanelle


Don’t judge because you don’t know,
My past is something you will never understand.
I made mistakes but that was long ago.

I’ve lived a life with nothing to show,
I thought by now it would be more grand.
Don’t judge because you don’t know.

Sometimes we change and grow,
And often take a stand.
I made mistakes but that was long ago.

I had nowhere left to go,
And took it by the hand.
Don’t judge because you don’t know.

I sit trembling as though sitting in snow,
And everything is so bland.
I made mistakes but that was long ago.

It’s like life’s dealt me one final blow,
I don’t deserve this reprimand.
Don’t judge because you don’t know,
I made mistakes but that was long ago.
