walk a day in my shoes
What is this darkness
Taking over me?
Is it from the pain
I'm constantly facing?
I feel like a hollow shell
So much pain is like living in hell
Nobody understands
The suffering I withstand
Instead they judge me
And view me weak
When in reality
I'm stronger than they think
I wish they could walk
Just a day in my shoes
Then they wouldn't talk
They wouldn't know what to do
Taking over me?
Is it from the pain
I'm constantly facing?
I feel like a hollow shell
So much pain is like living in hell
Nobody understands
The suffering I withstand
Instead they judge me
And view me weak
When in reality
I'm stronger than they think
I wish they could walk
Just a day in my shoes
Then they wouldn't talk
They wouldn't know what to do

this is so, so true, sad but true :-(
I feel this quite a lot but I am too cynical to believe that those trying your shoes would improve any. I think they would quickly forget and go back to being the same.
great write - seeking hope :-)
