The Other Shoe

The Other Shoe

A Poem by Sophie B.
"

Waiting for the other shoe to drop...

"

I walk hindered

As if I had been injured

For I am missing an important piece

Unbalanced, tripping my way down the street

 

Where my other shoe is, god only knows

But something tells me its near, ready to come back out of the shadows

And slam into me

Knocking me off my feet

 

Whether or not its coming back for me

I will continue to trip, skinning my knee

Little by little all my bones will break

As I fall again and again, my heart stats to ache

 

I decline beyond repair

No one helps me up nor cares

I must stay lying on the ground

Waiting eternally to be found
