I’ve been there
Have you ever come to lose
Your grip on reality?
Have you ever changed your
Perspective radically?
Have you ever walked
In another person’s shoes?
Have you ever heard
The morning news
From another point of view?
Tell me, have you ever changed
Your state of being?
Well I have done a few of those
And my grip failed long ago.
I’ve been falling ever since.
So my perspective has always
Been from the bottom.
I’ve walked in another’s shoes,
And been trodden upon
So my point of view has always
Been from the bottom.
And I first heard the news
From my loved one’s
Point of view so I know
What it means to be in the dark.
And I’m not ashamed
To admit I’ve changed.
Growing Down
With the world on my head
it is hard to carry you
after I have barely escaped
the dredges again.
.
Who put the weight of ten souls
on my shoulder asking me again
to carry more than my carefully
sculpted pounds?
.
Each year the horizon rises as
my bones bend and my feet sink
into the clay around my shoes
caused by too much knowing
and too much carrying.
