new shoes?

i had a moment last night.
forgive me for being
sappy, but i
need to set this free.

take a walk in my shoes,
just to see how you could do.
you said all you knew,
let me show you why you are through.
take a step in these sneaks,
listen to the endless creaks.
floorboards in the floors,
listen to them speak.
you've crowned me strong,
but i'am weak.
with this circle of friends,
i've found the leak.
i'll be the freak.

the moon is soft,
malleable as clay,
but don't think i
am one to sway.
fly away.

you'll never touch the crown.

it's a beautiful thing
when someone tells
you that they'll never
leave you.
that they will be there for
you whenever you need them
forever.
that they can carry your burdens,
to lighten the load.
that they are there to help,
and love,
and be.
just for you.


what's better is when they don't have to say anything,
because you already know that.
we are not the same.
