Walk a mile in my shoes:
Only a mile, though, just 2,100 steps. I don’t want you to feel overwhelmed or even lost. Tie up those shoe laces, it’s a bumpy path, but in the end, you will finally be able to see what it’s like being me.

Walk a mile in my shoes:
Take 2,100 steps while living with depression. Always remember to take the daily concoction of pills to “cure” the chemical imbalance in my head. Cherish the tiny moments of happiness; it could be the difference between wanting to live and hoping to be dead.

Walk a mile in my shoes:
Every step gets heavier as recovery from anorexia gets tougher. Never forget the voices that once called me fat, because though the faces may have changed the thoughts in my head are already deranged. A body that was once a temple cherished by all had fallen victim to wanting to be a Barbie doll

Walk a mile in my shoes:
Don’t look back, because the temptation of addiction will only put me on the wrong track. Alcohol, pills, blades and thrills left me with my mountain of medical bills. Be gentle with me, I’m not the one to blame when it’s my head and heart that are in pain.

Walk a mile in my shoes:
Keep my head down and walk fast, I’m scared of men because of my past. Bruised, battered, broken and shattered, don’t stand too close, sometimes it feels worse than an overdose. Anxiety kicks in during something as simple as walking the dog. Honestly, imprisoned in my room is where I belong.

Walk a mile in my shoes:
Tell everyone along the way, that there’s no chance for a baby someday. Mom, dad, lover, I’ll never get the chance to be my baby’s mother. It’s “too dangerous” to carry a baby in my tummy, I guess I’ll just have to wait for the stork or the bunny.

Walk a mile in my shoes:
To see how far I’ve come, recovery is a game that I just won. I’m young, beautiful, and smart; I see my life as a work of art. Never forget what you learned in my shoes, next time you judge someone, change your views. I asked you to walk one short mile, so you can discover the inner demons behind every crooked smile.
