The shoes of others

I have not walked your walk

I will not run

I have not talked your talk

I will not scream

I have not thought your thoughts

I will listen first

I have not always had it easy

I will know you haven't either

I have always been kind

I will assume you as well

I have not had a silver spoon

I will think yours is hard to bite

I have not bought new shoes

I will walk in others

The first step in compassion is understanding. That starts with realizing we are the same in some aspects but with different backgrounds that makes our insights and emotions different.

It's hard. The online world is ruthless. I've been hurt like never before and yet found love like never before. I walk cautiously and trust is earned over time. I believe only when I see.. xo I'm sure your journey back to you will be an easy one...because your spirit is strong and shows in your work.. xo

The flow and structure of this one is flawless, one of your best for sure! Very impressive, the rythym built by the "I have / I will" create so much resonant emotions, well done!
