I Dare You

Walk a mile, in my life than judge me

I dare you to look into my eyes 
To wear my crown of thorns, to share my life 
I dare you to walk with me for more than a couple of miles 
And stand by me through more than just the smiles 

I dare you to call me a liar 
Cast a stone, or light a fire 
I dare you to judge me, if you can find a throne to sit 
And try to figure me out if the pieces fit 

I dare you to walk on ashes 
Take you your bruises, take your lashes 
I dare you to seek out salvation once you've sought out hell 
Only cast stones on others when you've first cast them on yourself 

I dare you to tell me that my heart can't break 
When I've cried enough tears to fill a lake 
I dare you to tell me that I can't bleed 
When I can show you the marks that a knife can leave

I dare you to tell me that my
heart can't break
When I've cried enough tears to
fill a lake

"Only cast stones on others when you've first cast them on ." I like that a lot. Good work. I like the poem, however I am receiving mixed messages from you. What was your ultimate goal in writing this poem?

[Josh Anderson]

When I wrote this, I was losing friends, and people were making my life out to be a joke, so I wrote this as a challenge to those who judged me, if that helps at all:)

[Tyler Rhinhart]

Absolutely. I understand it now. A friend he or she is not unless absolutely true. Hope you are in a better place now!
