Abandoned Boarded
I'm taking a leap with my both feet
Without no shoe's to spare my soul's
And if I land on unkempt ground
I am bound to find I am barely able
to walk let alone manage baby steps
or stand erect
But this i knew before I and yet still
I did
Due to the fact way deep down obviously
i was terminally unfulfilled
In what and who I had become
Until one day I eventually realized I hadn't
woken up and seen the sun blinding in
quite a long while
So dank and bleak I thought the sun
had just lost it's shine and because of my
current disposition
I had simply failed to pay attention let
alone care to notice
The streets where totally abandoned there
was no signs of life all buildings and home's
we're boarded up
Apart from the shoe store stacked to
the rafters with all kinds of different
Boot's
In a multitude of sizes and range of
plush leather from the crocodile of
the Nile cobra snake to the buffalo
rodeo cow
Problem is though I landed on my feet
the street below me hadn't been swept
in a long while
And it was full of discarded shattered
shard's of broken bottle glass
Which are now firmly imbedded into
the soul's of my feet
So walking now is out of the question and
if I try to crawl
I will only end up with glass not only in
my hands but also in my feet as well
So here I still having pondered this
conundrum for quite a while
No further along nor closer to where
I need to be although in my mind's eye
I can the light through see
And do I now regret and wish I had
not leapt well maybe yes
But come to think of it it's in actual
fact both pointless and irrelevant
Because cold hard reality is it isn't
going to help or about to change
What's done is done like it or not
the sun isn't and never will be dark
What it means in actuality effect is this
The fire and light in your eyes has gone
out
Whether or not you can relight it or get
it back is solely up to you
And whether or not or how much fight
you have left possessed in you or you
want it to
