“Take a Walk in my Shoes” by Mrs. Casale, Media Specialist
Take a walk in my shoes then maybe you’ll see
There's not much difference between you and me.
I’m good with numbers. I’m a wizard with words.
I’m TOO smart, just one of the nerds.
I joke, joke, joke, but it’s really an act.
Sometimes I wonder if my brain has been hacked.
I can score touchdowns. I’m great with a ball.
I’m a Sports Superstar who feels like nothing at all.
I spread stories. I know they are mean.
I think maybe I do it, just to be seen.
Take a walk in my shoes then maybe you’ll see
There's not much difference between you and me.
I’m always tired. Sometimes I’m weak.
Sometimes I’m lonely and don’t want to speak.
I have too much homework! I have too much stress!
I check social media to feel better...I guess.
I’m alone in a group. I wear a disguise.
I even believe some of my very own lies.
Sometimes I cry under covers at night.
I want to do better! I want to do right!
Take a walk in my shoes pick me up if I fall.
I can’t be the only one who feels like nothing at all.
Take a walk in my shoes before you judge how I act.
Can you try to see ME before you think it’s a fact?
Take a walk in my shoes. I am YOU! You are ME!
