Trials

I stand before you
A sinner in the eyes of the world
In my defense, I did what I thought was best
And left the bad influences behind.
I did what was right for me
And to stay would have meant certain peril
If you still want to condemn me
For whatever sin you think I've committed
By all means proceed
May I remind you that if you are wrong
You will have to live with yourselves
And your choices for the rest of your days,
And I will laugh at your discomfort.
Don't say you weren't warned.
I have no special powers
I have only me.
I know I am not the only sinner.
Judge not unless you wish to be judged yourself.

Your honor, I am ready for my sentence.
