In my shoes
you'd have done the same
who's to say
who's to blame?

christmas hats
and butterflies
jump on board
and I'll surmise

walking down that road again
watch me dance as I hear you spin
stay awhile and summarize
watch me drown as I hear you fly

in my shoes
I'd have done the same
who's to say
that I'm to blame?

    lie beside me
    i just need to say

    Beauty ... I'm definitely feeling this. I come across many people who, with their opinions, think they know what they would have done. But the thing is, I'm unable to explain to them why I did what I did. These esoteric steps we all share in our own way can't be substituted many of the times with another experience.

    Thanks for sharing

    Very good. I like how the last verse makes you reflect....

    this is great
    like someone said, it DOES make you reflect
    my mum and i were having a conversation about choices and decisions, how one person may be held accountable or responsible but many are affected

    your poem reminded me of our discussion/argument/fight
