There have been times
in my life
when people have judged me
negatively,
or spoken badly of me
because they never took the time
to ask me
my point of view,
they never tried to understand
what life is like for me
or
maybe
I was just an easy target
for the hatred
that they had to offload
onto another hurt person
so they didn’t have to feel it
themselves.
Either way
I got hurt.
So here are my shoes.
Before you judge me
or speak ill of me
put them on,
fasten them tight
and walk a mile with me.

Beautiful! I think you took us more than a mile in your shoes in this poem! I am sorry for all the hurt you have endured and carry still!

Thank you. I’m sure that many people have been in this position at some time in their lives, it would be so much better if people walked a mile in their shoes before judging them. I have dreams of a beautiful world…..
(I had fun making the picture and searching for all the shoes! š )

It has been my experience that often for others the things we experience are not a crisis until it happens to them. You are so right. And you did a great job with the picture (as you always do) ! You are so talented!
