IN MY SHOES
It will take you about a second
to judge what you see.
It will take you about a minute
to decide whether or not you like me.
It will take you about an hour to
list my flaws.
It will take you about a day to
reveal all my faults.
The outside you see
Clearly and well
But on the inside there's stories
no one can tell
So before you judge me
based on my looks
Remember it's impossible to judge stories
by the cover of books.
There's lots on my inside
That the outside don't show
Secrets and stories
Things you couldn't possibly know ;
My hopeless thoughts
My endless devotion
My hidden scars
And unspoken feelings
My opinions
and
All my issues
Things you could never guess
Unless you spent a day in my shoes
The why, the how and when?
The who, the huh and the what?
The forgettable, the unforgettable
The goodbyes, the tears, the scars
The butterfly moments
The smiles, the joy, the laughter
The past, the stories, the memories
The unthinkable, the thinkable
The regrets, the mistakes, the lessons learned
The every little detail I never told
There's more to the story
A lot more than you could guess
There's more behind those silent cries
There's more behind those crying eyes
My stupid believes
My broken dreams
My dying wish
And unwanted fears
My opinions
and
All my issues
Things you could never guess
Unless you spent a day in my shoes
