In My Shoes
July 2, 2010
You wonder why I'm
Dressed like this.
Why my
white shirt is wrinkled
Torn and splattered with mud
Not carefully washed and ironed
Like yours?
You wonder why
I carry my life on my back
Like a turtle,
Why I chose this
(If I even chose it)
Or how I became like
this.
You see my shoes
They were white
The laces were once new
The soles were not worn
And as you are watching me
I say,
“Don't judge a person until you have walked a mile in their shoes.”
