A Different Point of View.

Get to know me as a person
before you pass judgement on me.

Slip on my shoes and walk my way,

through my eyes you will clearly see

 

that life is seldom how we perceive.

We do not know the ends and outs,

the blows in life we all receive,

the haunting fears and nagging doubts.

 

But in my shoes soon you will see

‘The Path of Life’ I’ve wrought and

you may then be surprised to find

all is not as you once thought!

This poem's purpose is to encourage us as readers to practice empathy and refrain from snap judgments, fostering greater understanding and compassion in interpersonal relationships.

Because to often humans tend to judge without understanding...This is a poem about reality..
Thanks for sharing.

So true each of us has our own story. A different view and always unique. So a different point of view for every different person. Don't be under fall impressions. Good one Marie!

As Joe South sang..."before you criticize and accuse, walk a mile in my shoes."
I think poets understand other poets best. But we are aliens to others and probably scare them a bit.

Smiling, dear J... Yes, poets are from the same tribe and so we understand and look out for each other and perceived as aliens by others who don't know what to make of us, because we live in a different world to them. Thank you so very much for reading J... and for your wonderful comment which I love. Wishing you a very nice evening, pleasant and relaxed to enjoy, dear friend... Gratitude with beautiful Blessings your way, J...

I like it. We truly don't know anyone's path having not walked in their shoes. ~Jim

[Marie]

I so agree, Jim. Thank you for so kindly reading this poem and for your very empathic and kind comment too. Gratitude with beautiful blessings your way, dear poet...

[Ken Simm.]

This is truth in poetry.
If you don't like me walk a mile in my shoes. And if you still don't like me at least you'r'e a mile away and you've got my shoes.
