Step Into My Shoes

All your positive purposes out negative.
The scheme to spur now stalling.
The speech’s structuring is all that matters.
Why not a moment take to think them through.
Before you blow my light within out
And scar my brain and heart forever
With weightless words sprinting smoothly off your tongue.

Centuries rapidly crawling by will render no remedy
To my shattered spirit hopelessly hovering the earth	
Feeling insecure about my brain’s output
And leaving my self-image constantly contending my heart’s will.

About it, your brain must think thrice.
On yourself, in my shoes, test twice. 
Then, only at me, orate once.
Certainly, all constructive words coming from you
Will in me impart zeal to attain success
With a smile at both ends.
After your words, after our success.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
