Seeker of Souls
Walking in another’s shoes
Means that we remove ours
We go barefoot
And open-hearted
To absorb their stories
We try to see through their eyes
We try to feel through their skin
And hear with their ears
Without judgment
We don’t say
“If I can do it, so can you”
We don’t measure others
Using ourselves or society
As the yardstick
We don’t put them in a box
With a convenient label on it
If we’re lucky
They’ll let us see their soul
Each of us is a masterpiece
I fancy the ones
Created out of chaos and grit
They don’t walk lockstep
Or mimic another’s painting
But create from their soul
Start telling your story now
Don’t let someone else
Paint all over your canvas
