Once upon a time... I never used to be able to fill a nice book with nice pages… With too many too highs and out of reach Dreams and purposes left unfulfilled, UNSEEN. Lucky if the book made it past the 10th page. No pages torn, -oh no, no, no, not allowed from this author; The pain is worn, A mask belonging to the person of many faces... So not one page will be torn, not 2, or 3…. Not with too big of shoes to fill, you see? -Whose shoes to fill? That answer is still unknown, But a shoe is still a shoe, Empty or at a home. Shoes without a pair, Shoes without laces, Maybe even shoes that do not lead to any faces. But a shoe is still a shoe, Is it not? So now here's this book, All to be filled with so many Precious thoughts. There are so many books with maybe 3, 7, or maybe even 10, Regardless... There is still so much left To this story Before it can even end.

The Book or The Shoe
Once upon a time... I never used to be able to fill a nice book with nice pages… With too many too highs and out of reach Dreams and purposes left unfulfilled, UNSEEN.

There is still so much left To this story Before it can even end.
Realizing even the littlest of little things....
