Walk In My Shoes

Could you take a walk in my shoes?
A 9 1/2 inch bruise that won't turn blue
Not visible to the human eye
Resides inside my mind and outside
A smile appears for you to like
You call it beautiful, but I know the truth
Its an ugly lie with pretty teeth and smile lines
To show you.

Could you walk in my shoes?

A 9 1/2 inch scar that won't heal
Feels like a sharp knife stabbing my heel
And it kills me to live this life
But I'll tell you, "its no big deal, I'm fine"
I can handle myself since I've done so 15 years
And I don't shed tears since I have no fears
I'm independent, strong and don't need help
Yet inside I'm weak crying and I can't free myself

Could you walk in my shoes?

Details that would send chills down your spine
With a mother who has an insane wacked mind
And no father to be found for a child longing for one
Seeking out for family love, the only thing I want
Cocaine, molestation and prison all a part of my life
You couldn't walk in my shoes as I have and survive
