To walk in my shoes is to grow up seeing your mom and dad fight each other and you can’t do anything about it. A war that you’re in the middle of.
To walk in my shoes, your father will want you to grow up fast, to be mature and self-sufficient, but you are having trouble doing so.
To walk in my shoes you will have to try to explain to your own mom and dad Why you can’t do the things your siblings can.
To walk in my shoes you think of yourself as a failure for not already being the man your parents need you to be.
To walk in my shoes is to feel pressured and stressed all the time, trying to be the person everyone wants you to be.
But you can’t, because you’re “different.” Try walking in my shoes.
