You've never been in my shoes
"don't judge me"
How could you know?
The way I feel right now,
If you haven't worn my shoes,
Every day feels unreal to me.
When I wake up, they also arrive.
In my thoughts
They are always with me.
They follow me wherever I go.
I mean my problems and anguish.
Even if I get drunk,
I keep trying to forget them.
When I get sober, they return.
They have taken over my life.
I wish it was possible to just throw them away.
Sometimes I laugh to ease the anguish.
Sometimes I play music to distract myself.
I can feel the anguish, but I have no control over it.
They crush me slowly, and I cry every day.
I ask you not to judge me.
You have no idea how I feel.
You don't know how they control me.
You've never been in my shoes.

This was so relatable. Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️
that's so true and yet, on another note, a few of my friends have been through worse. I thought my friend had it all - until her son died. Mine had been sick his entire life, but he's still here. I may not have money, bills keep mounting up, but I still have my family. Good writing. Made me count my blessings.
