In Another's Shoes

Van-Gogh

IN ANOTHER'S SHOES

You may think I am crazy

To love like I do

You may assume I'm needy

Because I like talking to you

I am many things

But high maintenance

You cannot accuse

I try to be empathetic

But recent actions

Have me so confused

You may think I am weak

To close my eyes like I do

You may judge my actions

I may judge you too

I am forced into silence

Because fighting makes us both lose

I cannot see inside your heart

Do not understand how it got this far

Try walking a mile

In another's shoes

Be Brave

BE BRAVE

Lead by example

Be the change you want to see

Stay strong in the face of adversity

Never fight with verbal abuse

Forgive and move on

Hatred is a poison that only hurts you

Love is the tool that binds an unbreakable bond

Courage is what it takes

To put faith in the unknown

Stamina is necessary

To rise after each fall

We live in a broken melting pot

An open mind learns from fear

Fear tests our convictions

Do not be afraid to change your mind

A million times

Every lesson is a blessing

If you pay attention

Don't let ignorance

Feed you lies

Don't let anyone shake your confidence

No words can ever hurt you

If you believe in yourself

Fighting fire with fire only fans the flames

A simple act of kindness

Separates the weak from the brave
