Walk a day in my shoes
And you would...
Feel like a prisoner in your solitary thoughts
Be pressured by everyone’s thoughts and words
Enjoy the beautiful, breathtaking wilderness

Love your caring and empathetic companions
Worry about others spilling your secret
Dream of communication from your peers

Appreciate any kindness you could get
Realize the cruelness of the world
Understand what it is to be hated

Hope for an understanding person
Feel guilty about being yourself
Stress about rumors and secrets

Listen to hateful name calling
Experience unsettling silence
Be depressed and confused

Be curious and creative
Question your existence
Enjoy any love you got
