DAILY RAMBLINGS....Day Seven

January 21st.....‘DAILY RAMBLINGS’

      Day Seven

My blog descriptions mention I’d post poetry, flash fiction and other things.  The next few days I’m posting poem or verses I’ve written over the years.  Every April I take the write a poem a day challenge.  Easy to do you say, NO!  It is hard to come up with inspiration at times. Many of my April pieces have come from real issues in my life.  A few years ago, I published two years worth of the April verses.  It’s interesting to go back to see what was going on in my life at the time.  Yesterday I wrote about a piece I composed centered around destiny.  The piece today actually goes hand in hand in a way with yesterday’s piece.  Back in twenty-eighteen people seemed to think they knew the real me.  They had no idea my situation in life, my defeats and my accomplishments.  People see only the outside of a person not their inside soul. Not everyone dresses to please the masses and wear the latest trend.  I wear my own style and am happy with it.  I do not put my DIRTY LAUNDRY out for the world to see.  I do not tell the world my problems or issues. All in all I am a private person.  I expect people to respect it but back in twenty-eighteen quite a few people thought they had the right to my personal issues. One should always respect the privacy of another.  Sometimes there are just things people need to keep private; the world doesn’t need to know every little thing going on in their lives.  Social media has made it easy for people to tell the world their issues and problems.  It’s like many enjoy putting their drama out there to read. I feel before you judge someone, walk a mile in their shoes. In my case how about walking a mile or even half mile in my flip flops.  Once you are in the other person’s shoes, boots, high heels or flip flops, then say what you want.  Until then, keep quiet. 

By the way my flip flops have the words 

Corona on them. 

Until then....happy Tuesday.

Walk a mile in my shoes

    Lyrics from an old country song

Walk a mile in my flip flops

   after which you can say about 

        me whatever you want 

You don’t really know the REAL 

        me

   Don’t know my personal pain

       What I fear....my troubles....my past

My dreams.....my desires....my hopes

You only know the part of me I     

        want you to seen 

          

You judge people by their outside

  cover....not their inside self

Walk a mile in my flip flops

    I dare you! 

         I double dare you!
