WALK A MILE IN MY SHOES
Will you walk a mile in my shoes
before you judge this outer skin
I`d say on the outside I look normal
but on the inside,turmoil rages within
I don t much like to speak of it candidly
I hide behind, an imaginary,crumbling brick wall
nervousness, anxiety, panic attacks ,I live with
and agoraphobia, so debilitating tops them all
I feel Ashamed that I have these issues
but i cant help it, they are a part of me
And the one thing I will tell you is,
everyday,I fight these feelings of fear
No day is the same, there is no happy
medium,you just live it from day to day
On a bad day your tired of fighting
on a good one, you embrace it,i`d say
I would like to think I am kindhearted
I would say I have lots of love, to share
I would help anyone who needed it
it makes me happy,to show how much I care
I am not a bad person, I am not mad
I just have problems,with my mental health
So before you judge me,walk a mile in my shoes
be understanding, because one day this could be yourself

YES!! DEBS!!...this write strikes such a powerful chord!!...and will ring true in every one who reads this!! (my opinion).....I think so many people hide behind that wall that you so eloquently conveyed here.....it speaks to the courageous nature of its author whom I am proud to call my friend!!.....I feel a little guilty for not keeping up with your stuff lately and this is the reason why......GREÄT subject matter to relate to.....and GREÄT writing bringing it to the public forum!!......ALL STARS!! PINNED!!.....powerful stuff girlfriend!!......Hugs-n-Kisses!!.....T xo ?☀✴✳♥
Hi Tony I wrote this for so many personal reasons
but mostly because I wanted to sort of say it out loud
so other people who hide behind that wall can see they are not alone
Thank you so much for your comments and pin Dear friend
they mean so much to me
Love n Hugs Debs xo
Hello Sis Debs...
These feelings sure does make the devil laugh...
I have reached another milestone that the Doctors still don't understand...
I tell them they must not know my God...
Sad really...
I tell them if they did then they would have the answers they seek...
Best wishes and blessings my friend!
Hugs...

Hi Sis Sparrowsong Yes the symptoms can be hellish :-(
I am sorry your doctors have not got answers for you
My best friend was the same 10 years she was ill
they could not find out what was wrong with her
so could not be treated
when she passed they still did not know
Sorry for rambling I just wanted to share that with you
Thank my friend for your comments
always appreciated
Best wishes and blessing to you too
Hugs Debs
"Why people in this world hate what is not them. Why they fear all they don't know. Why they hate themselves most of all. For being weak. For being old. For being everything altogether that is not God-like."- Penny Dreadful. We judge that which we do not understand because we fear that it happening to us. Courageous write and very relatable. Well done.
Hi Lost What a wonderful quote
that pretty much sums up my write I love those words
This piece had a lot of personal points, i wanted to express
them openly for people to know they are not alone
I am sorry that it is relatable
Thank you for your comments much appreciated
Best Wishes Debs
Most times we just look at people from a distance and judge them...we have no idea of the battles they are fighting....It takes courage to pen this Debs....well done!☺
Hi Sweet Rose Yes some people hide their
mental illness away because the feel ashamed
as I have done , it is funny because I dont discuss
my illness with people but i can write a poem about it
Thank you for your kind comments my friend
Lots of love Debs
I'm glad you're no longer ashame but can write about it. I love your positivy as that on its own is a healing process...You'd get well soonest Debs....I've whisper a prayer for you....Thanks for sharing with us
Never judge a book by its cover!! People don't know what's behind the veil. I can relate to this Deb. The time when I was battling cancer, my friends and officemates didn't know what's really going on because i just kept on smiling, pretending to be mellow, but deep inside I was terrified. ## One of my officemates said something I didn't like to hear, I confronted her and told her:" let's exchange place, i will do your job, you do for me the radiation every day, you clean my house, do the grocery and pick up my daughter from school", she apologised.##
don't be ashamed of your mental illness. It can happen to anyone of us. Unluckily, it happens to you.
Take care!!!
Hugs and love
Hi Leah Yes you hit the nail on the head
why do we hide the fact we are ill surly it is better to
say what is wrong
Aww I bet you were terrified Leah (Hugs) Cancer is so scary
I think it is hard to talk about, I know because my mother could not talk about
it she could nt even say the word
Thank you for sharing your story Thank you for your kind comments
Hugs and love to you Debs
My Dear Debs,
Forget only "one more mile"
We'd walk a thousand just for you
For we've felt the love within your heart
And your soul so very true
Hugs, Peace and Love,
Larry xxx
