Shoes Worn Thin Poem by Daniel Fortuna Jr.

Too much walking down this path shoes worn thin. I've walked with for quite awhile I really don't know how long it's been.It's imperative that I get my act together; for I know that I can't live this way forever. I've been feeding the mouth that's been chewing on me week after week, day after day, hour after hour; I just feel that I'm too disinclined to not capitulate to it's overwhelming power.Much to my detriment, I continue to allowit to chew on my mind & soul, in which it's done unmercifully, & as I stare upon my reflection I not only feel, but see that's it's taken it's toll upon me implicitly.Shoes worn thin, oh how through the years they have worn so thin; for I relish the thought that someday I will put on new ones & begin to walk down the right path & live life again; to get my life back on track & be free. Alas, until then, I sit & contemplate as I utter to myself the soliloquy, " to be or not to be ".
