Wear Shoes

This is a poem that I wrote while taking one of my first creative writing classes and it is one of the few pieces that I don't currently intend on changing much. At least I don't know what to do to it and I am about as satisfied as any self deprecating writer can get with any of his works. It's simple, short and sweet so I figured it would be good to start with.

Wear Shoes


When promises
shatter,
the pieces,
so sharp,
can never
be entirely
swept up.
They just sit
on the floor,
unseen,
eager to
pierce
a tender soul
without a shoe.
