try walking in other people’s shoes
they say, in order to understand
but don’t overdo it
that you won’t be comfortable
walking in your shoes
try to be sensitive to what others feel
give thought to what others think
but not to the extent
where you won’t know
how to think and feel on your own
don’t be a quilt of everybody’s emotions
patches sewn together of everybody’s thoughts
bits and pieces that don’t make a whole
a collection of scraps
a façade of everybody with nothing underneath
