I went through a lot the past 2 years and this is what just a piece I wrote looking back
They say before you judge someone,
You must walk a mile in their shoes.
Come on over, slip into my shoes.
Go ahead, I dare you,
Try and take a step,
Feel the weight on the world on your shoulders.
Go on, try to turn down the temptations I deal with daily,
Just see if you can handle not only hating what you see in the mirror,
But what you feel.
Try to deal with the words just trying to bring you down.
Try to breathe when you're six feet under.
I guarantee before you can even take another step,
You won't want to be in those shoes.
I barely want to be in them.
But I keep walking,
Because I know I'm worth something,
I know I'm strong enough.
No one, not even I can handle walking in my shoes,
But I'm making it...
And I will make it.
