In Another's Shoes

Go ahead and tell me your problems Your life of misery and pain How mine is all "sunshine and roses" And you live in mud and rain Tell me I've had life handed to me Gained it all without effort But yours, oh yours could never be happy Being stuck in a never ending hurt Blame it on my color blame it on my age Any reason that my life is easier Than yours by any way I'm sorry if you think I'm perfect Born in some heavenly role That people live a flawless story While your the exception to the rule Now I normally don't complain Because I love you enough to listen But you beat down hate with every comeback When I try to offer some elder wisdom I understand that you have struggles Feeling like its all on you But so does every other being IT'S NOT JUST YOU

Very true. We all have something to contend with. As my dad says 'Nobody gets a free ride in this world'! Well written piece, enjoyed. Em :)
