Shoes
I'm living with a cloud
angrily trapped, separated from belonging
expressive, loud
I'm living in stormy weather
hidden protection from the sky above
attacked by wind, blown like a feather
I'm staring at the unforgiving sun
seeking out superior potential
sifting through ideas
before I'm undone
I'm delivering a speech
bounded to my emotion
I bear it, desire to reach
full potential, operate in purposeful motion
I'm thriving and its not enough
I hear my voice
full of nonsense and fluff
it angers me. I search for substance
by traveling a further distance
I resent the forced truth
I can lose my shoes eternally
where I stand, but I can never escape
the limbs that fill them
I'm echoing off the rim
circle back, I wonder
where these shoes
have been
