If I were in your shoes
He wished
Don't say it
I replied
For nobody can
My shoes won't
Fit your feet
It is only a wish
He continued
Careful
What you wish
I said
Was
The Con-Lib Government
Your wish?
I asked
Anyway, My shoes
Might
Not be comfortable
Or stylish
Being in my shoes
Means being me
It is only me
Who can be me
Nobody can be me
Even
Attain
Simulation of me
If I were in your
Position, then
He said
No one can be
In the exact
Same position
I replied
Our reactions
To causes
Would not be the same
Can be different
From time to time
Even identical twins
Have different
Behaviours
&
Dispositions
You can't fit
In my shoes
Even if
You want
Sorry,
Can't
Help you with it.
Don't believe in
All size fits all
Like one size socks.
Is different with
Shoes.
Life is complicated.
At times
Can rock your mind.
As individuals,
Nature and nurture
Can make
Or
Unmake us.
We are not robots
But
Human beings,
Can exhibit
Our
Differences.
Think and react
Differently to
Situations.
Please don't ever say
" if I were in your
Shoes"
Discussion ended
Amicably we parted
Agreed to disagree
Our discussion
Wasn't in disarray
As friends,we parted.
