Captured Thoughts

Walking Your Shoes

In a world aflame with anger,
Where hate whispers louder than reason,
I pause, I breathe, I take a step—
Into the path that others walk each day.

I feel the stones that bruise their soles,
The weight they carry, unseen, untold.
Every scowl, every word that cuts deep,
Often hides a pain they silently keep.

If only we’d pause, if only we’d try,
To walk a mile before we judge or sigh.
The world’s sharp edges might soften their hue,
When we remember we all bleed too.

So I walk gently, with open eyes,
Seeking the truth beneath the disguise.
Hate may roar, anger may sting,
But compassion begins when we try to feel everything.
