OUR SHOES
I am who I am you are who you are
you don't know why I am who I am
And I don't know why you are who you are
so don't judge the whom I am
And I can never judge the who you are
if we switch shoes, you may never be
able to bear the pains of my shoes and
I may never bear the pains of yours
you may never adhere to the looseness of my own shoes and who knows I may never adhere to yours
I may not fit in your shoes and
and you may not fit in mine
to you my shoes stink
but to myself I exalt them
to me your shoes are great
but to yourself yours are too perfect
we can never get the chance to switch shoes
I may not really mind but you may
since we can,not
so we should lower the critics within and with out
and turn on encouragement
because that is how the world can be a better place
a little bit of goodness then a little bit of wickedness
a little bit of encouragement
then a little bit of depression and suicide
with a little kindness
and love then giving
added together by the whole wide world
then not only my world, but our world would be a better place
