This Is What It Feels Like

My Struggle Karla Llerena Usually you’ll walk and ignore all the weird stuff happening around you, Until you can’t ignore it any longer. You can’t ignore the trauma, the violence, the oppression. But you gotta suck it up and go about your day. You’ll think that your day will start well, Until you’re in another person’s shoes. To walk in my shoes is to get dragged down By the people closest to you. To walk in my shoes is to feel Like you’re on fire and not even water could put you out. To walk in my shoes is to walk outside And there will always be someone trying to talk to you. To walk in my shoes is to lose Your appetite because your mental health is not even straight.
