if you are worthy

How many times
have my words separated
hurt someone’s feelings
cut someone off;
how many ways
have I conditioned acceptance
saying you can come
I will listen to you
if you are worthy
when I myself
am nothing but clay?

I have seen several other pieces on the internet about
the back story to some of the people we judge,
 how we don’t know what they have been through or
are going through.
Here are just a couple:
