Barefoot

Barefoot I’ll take off my shoes and socks, and walk barefoot in the sand, I will think about my past, while I’m staring at my hands, after swimming for miles, I am finally on land, I am always by myself, I am just a lonely man. I’ll take off my shoes and socks, and walk barefoot in the rain, yes my life is getting better, watch my hate go down the drain, I have all these secret thoughts, I have all this hidden pain, even though I have these thoughts, nothing’s wrong inside my brain. I’ll take off my shoes and socks, and walk barefoot on the floor, give myself a pedicure, I am happy to the core, getting sandals and flip flops, I am always wanting more, I will have to wait and see, what the future has in store. I’ll take off my shoes and socks, and walk barefoot in the grass, I am wiggling my toes, when I think about my past, rub my tootsies on my own, it is not an easy task, when I was a happy boy, childhood went by too fast.

I love the transition from man to boy. Childhood did go by too fast and getting ones shit together is always difficult. That is what your poem said to me. I love every word. Great job my friend!
