No New Shoe Blues

careful! i plead
too late, though
freely, i'd bleed
too late now.
the suture kit's too late
no future, its my fate
sure, it rhymes,
but that doesnt make it pretty..

the only reason im not dead right now
is because if you step in it
you'll ruin your shoes
and i dont want that.

nobody's buying new shoes
'cause i was irresponsible,
incomprehensible,
or just plain not sensible.

ruined carpet, red tracks
and undeserved guilt attacks.
my selfish desire retracts.

im glad we had this talk.

This hit me like a brick to the head. I love how powerful these lines are, and how bluntly and directly they're delivered. I love the cynicism and the way it makes me wince. Good job.

thanks for that. i really appreciate the feedback.

im glad we had this talk.

i edited this a little bit. not really any major changes, but i think its a little smoother. still might alter the beginning.

I have to agree. Those lines are powerful.
