Cast No Stones

Cast No Stones

Through your eyes you see me demented;
you see only the mistakes I've made.
You do not see the pain endured,
or the savage prices paid.

You do not see my tears at night
nor the pain I feel each day;
you do not wake up to darkness,
so who are you to say?

I see through my heart;
I get lost in all the turns.
I feel the razors edge waiting
and I feel the heat of the burns.

I cry my tears at night, alone.
I wake to darkness taunting me.
I get walked upon like the earth;
you do not see my misery.

So do not hand down judgement
from your happy little throne;
you have your mistakes, I'm sure;
Be not the first to cast a stone.
