Amanda Pearson Poet Rhyme

What do you do?

How far can someone be pushed to the edge before they just jump
Self sabotage everything because you always feel your not enough 
Walking on glass around others and understanding their pain but when it comes to yourself no one does the same
How far can someone go walk the miles in someone else's shoes
Before you  forget you're someone else too
How much can you feel for someone else before you start breaking down
Is it your own emotions or just watching someone else drown
When you put in for someone else and give them the crown, but you get the scraps and try to keep them down
What does it mean when you lose yourself and you left it somewhere along the way and start to feel numb and it just never goes away
What do you do when your stepping on glass and hope it doesn't cut 
Do you walk down the line or do you stop..

Salome Dove September 9, 2026 at 5:01 AM You keep walking that line. Our most merciful Lord will never give you more than you can carry. Or, as a father I once knew would say: "It builds character!" 😸 Just try not to wallow in self-pity for too much. You look better when you smile. Feel, but don't hold onto sadness. Sending 💕 love
