I Do My Best

I do my best not to look at people I don't know

Because I don't really like them,

But in the process, I end up doing my very best

Not to form unkind opinions.

“Judge not, lest ye be judged,” the man said.

“Look not, and thou shalt judge not,”

says the delusion in my head.

“I'd be a hypocrite if I expected points for effort,”

I know silently to myself.

My personal opinions make a point of not caring

For today's softest notions of “feelings” and “trying,”

and for so many reasons, they remain personal opinions,

Meaning that I keep them to myself.
