When I was born

I was without shoes

Now as an adult

I find myself in different shoes

Some of them

I choose to buy

Some were gifts or so I thought

Others, I can't just tell

How I got them

But, I never stole any.

Some of these shoes fit perfectly

Some don't fit

Some are way too big

Others are too tight

Yet I wear them

Enduring the discomfort.

When you see me having them on

You admire them on my feet

But you may not understand that

'He who wears the shoe knows where it pinches'.

We all wear these shoes

whether you have legs or not

We all have and face issues in life

Just as I have mine

You too have yours

You know yours and

I know mine

Even when the issues appear similar

We go through them differently.

So, when next you see me walk pass you

Do not be quick to

just admire the shoes on my feet

But answer this question

Can you be in my shoes?
