A Walk In Your Shoes
14 September, 2024
author: Rebecca Ditch-Hammack (aka Dreamer)

To walk in your shoes
I will never know.
As I walk in mine, silent to you

'If only I'd known' seems easy to say
But in reality, it's really not

Time goes on, and wounds heal
But the scars of the past remain.

The silence of our screams never heard or vocalized
Lived and hidden away. But survived

It seems a shame 'survived' is the way we feel.
Life should be lived, Not survived.

To some, the reality scars remain.
Live learned and moved past
but never forgotten

The paths walked were so filled with thorns.
We put on new shoes.
So no one will ever know.

But in the dark corner,
In the back of our closets,
There is always an old pair of shoes
