I tied my shoes twice over
In hopes it wouldn’t fail
The knot I made held strong a while
But then it became frail

The inner lining’s wearing out
Unravelling with time
Woven fibers turn to string
And nothing’s left to bind

It interests me the way the sole
Can bear to stand so much
Walked upon, then thrown away
And all without a crutch

No one ever lends a hand
Or cares to know it’s pain
Some are left upon the porch
To weather in the rain

I myself am like the shoe
Lost and all alone
I feel it’s pain forever more
For I don’t have a home

I tied my shoes twice over
Then lightly walked along
Remembering undue pressure placed
Upon a sole is wrong
