I Married the Judge


I found the judge

inside me.


So critical

so harsh.


I should have

remembered her birthday.


I should have

been articulate

so “they” would understand.


I found my judge,

so cruel

toward the mother

walking away from

her screaming child.


I found my judge,

so harsh toward

the negative, self serving

comments of others.


I found my Judge

and married him,

to morphs him

into discernment.


I see others actions

and know,

I don’t know

what others

ought to do.


They’re doing it perfectly,

as am I.
