"Aim high incase you fall short." -Suzanne Collins


If you could see through the eyes of a stranger,
If you could walk miles in their shoes,
If you could live their life,
if just for a second,
Who would you be?

If you could speak their voice,
If you could hear from their ears,
If you could taste with their tongue,
if just for a second,
Who would you be?

If you could have their body,
If you could possess their curves,
If you could be their size,
if just for a second,
Who would you be?

If you could jump with their legs,
If you could entwine their fingers,
If you could lift with their arms,
if just for a second,
Who would you be?

If you could expect their payroll,
If you could access their bank account,
If you could spend their riches,
if just for a second,
Who would you be?

If you could have their friends,
If you could experience their family,
If you could embrace their spouse,
if just for a second,
Who would you be?

If you could have their everything,
If you could enjoy their happiness,
If you could withstand their darkness,
if just for a second,
Who would you be?

If you could be called their labels,
If you could handle their stereotypes,
If you could endure their verbal abuse,
if just for a second,
Who would you be?

If you could be pushed down by their bullies,
If you could stand the scars on their skin,
If you could go through their physical agony,
if just for a second,
Who would you be?

If you could carry their burdens,
If you could feel their emotions,
If you could bear their pain,
if just for a second,
Who would you be?

If you could relieve them of their anxieties,
If you could take away their depression,
If you could make them happy,
if just for a second,
Who would you be?

If you had the choice to switch lives with someone, would you choose for the betterment of your life, or theirs? Would you sacrifice your happiness so that the other individual wouldn’t have to suffer? If just for a second, you could make them happy at the sake of your own torture, would you?
