To be in your shoes... (Poem)

The pressure to succeed

If only you could understand

how it feels like

the pain, the agony

and the need to succeed

Everyone relying on you, alone

to win for all of them

keep the country proud

and it's head up

Applause's heard from miles away

to boost your spirit up

and if you make a mistake

rocks and taunts thrown at you

Feelings hurt and energy drowning

adrenaline rushing harder then ever

trying your very best to cover up

for that one mistake you made

Everyone think's its easy

then why don't they try

so they can understand how it feels

to be in your shoes

The last stanza speaks volume! It's easy to talk rather than really know how it feels to be in someone's shoes...
Good write, Shaan :)

[Mr.Writer]

Great wisdom in your words.
"Everyone think's its easy
then why don't they try
so they can understand how it feels
to be in your shoes"
The above lines. We need to pay attention to. Each person had known different struggles. Thank you my friend for sharing the outstanding poetry.

[Mr.Writer]

You're welcome.

Hah, you've copied down my thoughts, Shaan. I totally agree! If only they could understand us, if only they were not too quick in judging us, if only they saw life through our eyes, if only...well...The 'if only' endlessly goes on...anyway, this was a well written and relatable piece. Good job!

[Mr.Writer]

I know right! I so agree with you as well!
Why can't they just understand and stop being o judgemental all the time... only if this wasn't human nature, life could be better :/
Thank you so much Zoe! :)

[Zoya]

Definitely...that's what holds most of us back from doing things we yearn to do...its so sad...really. And you're welcome!

[Mr.Writer]

It rlly is sad! Like how we can even lose our self confidence from people's taunts and make ourselves think we're not good enough.

[Zoya]

Exactly...that's the case with many. In fact, me too. I try hard to not think about what others might feel about me..But again, it still does come in the way...its so demoralising.

[Mr.Writer]

Same with me too :/ I think too much about what others think and become rlly self conscious. It's best to just do what we're doing and try not to care

[Zoya]

Yup, that's best...but hard at the same time. Lol. No one can be more self conscious than me :p

[Mr.Writer]

Lol true it's hard, but I know you, I and everyone else can do it! :D

[Zoya]

Ooh, yeah. That's the spirit! xD

[Mr.Writer]

Let's bring it on! XD

[Zoya]

We'll conquer the world! xD

[Mr.Writer]

Yassss! Let's do it :D

[Zoya]

When to get started? Hmm...tomorrow maybe...or wait, today...hmm? Nope. Now is the time!! XD

[Mr.Writer]

Yepp! Now is the time! Hmm, infinity and beyond!
Blast offf, time to conquer! :D

[Zoya]

Lol. Me being lame xD *throws around furtive glances to check for the presence of judgemental people* wheww...There aren't any xD

[Mr.Writer]

[Zoya]

Oh. No checking through glasses, in my case xD

[Mr.Writer]

[Mr.Writer]
