In My Shoes

To most I am a crybaby
I am an emotional human being
I am stressed
Knowing crying doesn't change anything,
 but does help me feel better 
I am so much more than that 
I am a strong individual 
Just because you may see me cry 
Doesn't make me weak 
Everyone has a story 
Until you are in my shoes 
You can't begin to understand
To feel my pain or my joy 
So until you can fully understand my situation
My complications, motivations, my struggle
 my story, simply shut up 
Don't care about opinions or advice 
Don't want to hear it
 I am living my life so live yours
