I forgot my shoes
In the same place I lost myself
I looked and looked, but the shoe really was gone and so was I
How I got this far, I know not
How I gave it all, is quite unclear
But piece by piece I gave myself away
‘Till I looked up today and found that I gave it all
What have I done? Who have I become?
Most importantly, where am I?
One thing is clear, this is not me
This is not where I set out to be
It certainly is not where I belong
And so flee I must, before I’m sucked back into this vortex
So I ran and I ran and I didn’t look back
And just when I thought I had outrun my tears and pain
I looked down and alas! I forgot my shoes
Sigh… Twas a really nice pair.
