Walking now in those dreaded shoes, <br />tattered, torn and worn out. <br />The shoes I laughed at, would never use. <br />Acknowledged them not, I refused. <br /> <br />What goes round comes round, <br />it’s just a matter of time. <br />All things done and said in the past, <br />have come back to kick me in the ass. <br /> <br />It is said the Lord works in mysterious ways. <br />He’s showing me through these difficult days, <br />what it’s like to walk in another mans shoes. <br />To be downtrodden, used and abused. <br /> <br />Bleak, confused in this very dark place, <br />hidden away from those on the outside. <br />Crippled in mind and lost in soul. <br />I lay stripped in this deep dark hole. <br /> <br />My days go unnoticed in this timeless zone. <br />Shamed, hopeless, unforgiving of self. <br />I stay quietly suppressed and remain alone. <br /> <br />Days come and go, always remaining the same. <br />Finding a way out seems an impossible task. <br />Driven as I’am, I’ll leave the same way I came. <br />Help, I need not waste time to ask. <br /> <br />I forged my way out into the light of day. <br />Touched by the sun, my withering face. <br />A second chance has come my way. <br />Once again I rejoin the human race.<br /><br />Melvina Germain<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/897-walk-in-another-mans-shoes/
