IN MY SHOES
Each day, my steps repeat anew.
Down the same walk within my
"assigned area," I dwell --
stuck as I am, ID on left collar, always
in a cell. Night after day; remembering
each bird that flew, like all I knew.
Each day, my steps repeat anew.
In my shoes, I let things pass; I must
laugh it all off, saving pieces of this
broken heart of glass -- each closer
to the last,
with so much time still to pass
Each day, my steps repeat anew.
No choice for me, only remembrance
of such glee. Life; exacting fee.
In my shoes,
only I can know -- this
place, they claim I've somehow sown.
Each day, my steps repeat anew.
Out between the bars, the hopes I knew
have flew; but on occasion
I see them out there,
peeking in -- searching for me
to let me know, they've grew!
Each day, my steps repeat anew.
