Shoes

The boy
now a man.
Never had time
to be a kid.
Tears in place of laughter.
Lonliness his friend.
Pain,
no one can comprehend.
Nobody can understand.
There just words.
You were young,
chin up,
those times are gone.
Over,
just move along.
But, that’s easy for you.
You can never see.
Because I walk in these shoes,
Nailed to me...............
