Not Perfect

Not Perfect

Take a walk in my shoes,

and see the road I've traveled,

the things I've seen,

and the things I've been through.

Your road must have been nice.

Smooth  like a highway

with directions on where to go.

My road has been hell,

a rutted, rocky dirt road

with  no signs for me to follow.

I've been lost so many times,

but you can't understand.

You may not be able to.

Before you start to criticize,

remember just one thing.

People travel on different roads,

see different things,

have different experiences on the way.

So kick off your designer high heels,

and step into my worn shoes.

I'll caution you before you start,

My road's not perfect.
