Not My Shoes

A Poem by I Am Svetlana

I've always wanted

To walk in someone else's shoes.

Seeing the world

From their perspective.

I wouldn't be me.

I would be them.

I would be a different person.

With a different view of life

And how I would be living it.

Everything would be

Not what I expect.

nice.. I have always said.. "if you can not walk in their shoes... do not judge"... it is impossible to know what someone has gone through.. unless you have lived it yourself!
