"Don't judge the book by the cover"
Take a Glimpse inside first
Don't judge me by the color of my skin.
Don't judge me by the places that I have or haven't been.
Don't judge me if you should find me stressed, sitting with my hand on my chin.
Don't judge me if I do something wrong and you do the same thing, a sin is always a sin.
Don't judge me if I should pass you and forget to grin.
Don't judge me if my clothes are worn a little thin.
Don't judge me if I should fall off of the wagon and need a hand every now and then.
Don't judge me if you helped me yesterday, and you look up and here I am again.
Don't judge me if I'm out, when I should have been in.
Don't judge me If my life style is not up to par, and treat me like an unwanted kin.
Don't judge me if I ask for a helping hand or suggestion as to how I can win.
Don'f judge me by the things that I've done, or the mistakes that I did way back when.
I'm someone special, if only you'd take a look inside this ole vessel, you'll be shocked to realize that you have judged me and it was truly a sin.

I've been writing for a long time, plus I've done three university courses, which have made me more aware of how to write prose and poetry that much better and with more patience.
One thing which was suggested to me was not to use cliches, the kind of thing we take for granted; 'don't judge a book...' is one such thing.
Your point might be more powerfully made by shorter sentences, less words and, perhaps, reasons why you don't want those things. What about your sense of hurt?
Keep on writing!
Peace.
Thanks
