One day I lost my shoes,
so I always walked barefoot.
I was terrified
to step on something sharp,
so I always had my eyes
locked on the ***** ugly ground,
always looking down.
One day I became lost
in my thoughts
and stepped on a rock.
A pang shot through my being
and looked up.
And I found the sky.

One day I lost my shoes,
so I always walked barefoot.
I was terrified
to step on something sharp,
so I always had my eyes
locked on the ***** ugly ground,
always looking down.
One day I became lost
in my thoughts
and stepped on a rock.
A pang shot through my being
and looked up.
And I found the sky.
