Concrete Shoes

A Poem about life's struggle to obtain happiness in free verse.

Bank account negative

overdraft on happiness

material weight

like concrete shoes

will only pull you down

till needs are redefined

and like oil you separate.

Blitzkrieged by truth

thought life easy

till path swam inclined

resulting in slow decline

shedding the unnecessary

life smiles like the Cheshire.

That fading memory

forever a reminder

to obtain happiness

you must give your all

experience the good and bad

love what remains

and cherish every breathing moment.
