Walking a mile in these shoes


Walking a mile in these shoes, Some of
us say it's learnt behaviors and that one
becomes accustomed to treading
through these life's interferences of
one's decrees.

Walk a mile in these shoes,  Some shoes
are a little imperfect,  some a bit too
small, some tight,  some too big, some
just fit perfectly, the walks may often are
long, winding ups and downs walk a
mile in these shoes, crystal  stairs
these shoes never walked upon. Life's 
lessons oftentimes seemed Cloudy,
Sidetracked,  full of flags of judgment 
often waved towards me.

Gossip,  Slander,  staring at a barrel of
a gun placed upon my temple, violated.

Loss of loved ones, sadness, depression 
now overwhelms me walk a mile in
these shoes.

Healing is a life-long process walk a
mile in these shoes.
