I found a shoe

An old dirty shoe

Only one question 

Who did it belong to?

 

I thought and thought

Until my brain began to rot

And then I remebered

It was mine

 

I ran and I played 

I kicked and I strayed

That was me

Younger me

 

How short was my hair?

Life just so fair

 

I would jump and then shout

Let it all out

 

I yelled and I screamed

What's it to me?

 

I was fun only then 

I've changed up to know

 

It no longer fits

Yet it's not in a ditch

It's mine to keep

My old memory
