I Dare You

I Dare You

A Poem by Josh Anderson
"

Walk a mile, in my life than judge me

"
I dare you to look into my eyes 
To wear my crown of thorns, to share my life 
I dare you to walk with me for more than a couple of miles 
And stand by me through more than just the smiles 

I dare you to call me a liar 
Cast a stone, or light a fire 
I dare you to judge me, if you can find a throne to sit 
And try to figure me out if the pieces fit 

I dare you to walk on ashes 
Take you your bruises, take your lashes 
I dare you to seek out salvation once you've sought out hell 
Only cast stones on others when you've first cast them on yourself 

I dare you to tell me that my heart can't break 
When I've cried enough tears to fill a lake 
I dare you to tell me that I can't bleed 
When I can show you the marks that a knife can leave
