Old Shoe

      There was a time when I felt
Like I was needed, and I cared
I didn’t have much knowledge
But what I had, I shared

Times they keep changing
New faces surround me
No respect for what I’ve done
New leadership and I disagree

I seem to care too much
And they seem to not care at all
My time is coming to an end
It’s sad to watch it fall

I’m a forgotten relic
They wish I was already gone
I can see the writing on the wall
I’m a dragon and the last one

There was a time when I was proud
Even being the lowest ****
But those days have come and gone
Now I just wish I was comfortably numb

I’m yesterday and just part of an unknown
Past, they are today shiny and new
But time will pass them by and soon they’ll
Know what its like to feel like an old shoe
