My Shoes

My shoes

Karyn Indursky

 

If only for one day,
I'd let you see things through my eyes.

 

If only for a day,
I'd let you see what it's like.

 

If only for a day,
I'd let you struggle with my everyday problems.

 

If only for a day,
I'd let you look for nonexistent answers.

 

If only for a day,
I'd make you bite your tongue.

 

If only for a day,
I'd make you use my mind-not my body.

 

If only for a day,
I'd guide you from physical harm.

 

If only for a day,
I'd have you deal with the outer and inner scars.

 

If only for a day,
I'd let you dress and act like me.

 

If only for a day,
I'd give you a chance to get in touch with responsibilities.

 

If only for a day,
I'd have you fight to maintain the honor roll student status.

 

If only for a day,
I'd let you remember to be nice to people.

 

If only for a day,
I'd loan you my family.

 

If only for a day,
I'd let you borrow my friends.

 

If only for a day,
I'd let you worry over a license, way to pay for college, work, family, friends, strangers, animals, etc.

 

If only for a day,
I'd let you walk in my shoes.
