Walk A Day In My Shoes...


Walk a day in my shoes And you would... Feel like a prisoner in your solitary thoughts Be pressured by everyone’s thoughts and words Enjoy the beautiful, breathtaking wilderness Love your caring and empathetic companions Worry about others spilling your secret Dream of communication from your peers Appreciate any kindness you could get Realize the cruelness of the world Understand what it is to be hated Hope for an understanding person Feel guilty about being yourself Stress about rumors and secrets Listen to hateful name calling Experience unsettling silence Be depressed and confused Be curious and creative Question your existence Enjoy any love you got

The blessings and plights of being human in 18 lines. How majestic! :)
