In the past, she disrobed
Exposed her nakedness, bared her soul
Some judged her, their disdain probed
Others accepted her, made her feel whole

As she wept, vulnerable and frail
She pleaded for aid from those who cared
But those who embraced her, their efforts paled
For they only saw her body, not the heart bared

Reflecting on her past, she then knew
She had failed to see them too
Blinded by her own pain and rue
She did nothing but withhold judgment anew.
