Dennis Eason "Shoes for Sale"

"Shoes for Sale"

-Do you want to buy my shoes?

-Shoes filled with deterred vision, sleepless nights, and hopeless dreams

-heartbreak, stomach-ache, and mustered fantasies that never seem to out weigh my reality

-these shoes hold unremarkable scars of the past along with unrefined cuts of the present

-with a fate that seemed heaven sent it's evident that the night air I dreamed upon turned to dust in the thick of all my wishes

-my mentals cannot handle the bars of steel confinement they remain behind

-this world filled with disappointment anointed with a drop of pain brings me to levels deep below anger and depression

-I awake in cold sweats to realize that my life mirrors that of a despised man I have never met

-often I wonder if God shed a tear at what a cold hearted offense I've become

-drained of happiness and joy yet surrounded by hate and disdain, my soul weeps at the amazement lost in these weary eyes of mine

-for so long have I reached at destiny's heals to find that soon she will wither in the wind like a mirage in the distance

-to maintain what sanity I have left, I have resorted to clouding my lungs with the mystery of what's beyond the grave

-yet you judge me as if you're better than the breath given to me

-so I ask again

-Sir! Do you want to buy my shoes?

  1. Your shoes are not my size. But they are my taste.
