Walking in Someone Else's Life


Ever know what's it like to be someone else.

To feel their pain, sorrow and fear. 

To feel their heartaches and feel their tears.

To see their past and everything they been through. 

To see what lies undeneath the mask. 

Ever know what's like to be someone else.

 

Ever know what's it like to walk a mile in someone else's shoes. 

To know their own trials, all they been through.

To know all their struggles and horrors they faced.

To hear their thoughts and their desires. 

To hear their hopes, dreams and wishes that never expire. 

Ever know what's it like to walk a mile in someone else's shoes. 

 

Ever know what's it like to share someone else's life.

To understand their needs and their wants.

To understand what haunts their minds and what drives their hearts.

To learn a small part of their lives. 

To learn of the trouble that they bare. 

Ever know what's it like to share someone else's life.

I am a college student that goes to The University of Akro. I have been writing since I was five years old. I have written a book series in my spare time, but what people don't know about me is that no one thought that I would get to where I am today. No one thought I would go to college. There has been someone doubting me about something or other. But somehow I proved every, single one of them wrong. I don't let their words get the best me, I always fight through it and I never give in to their words.

<p>This peom was created when I was thinking about my friend. She wrote a peom about some of her daily struggles, so I decieded to write about what a peom can give someone else and what they learn about that person.&nbsp;</p><p>-HannahJ911</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
