Ground

They're heads are always fixed in a stiff position
always towards ground
all they see is ground
tile
wood
grass
concrete
identifying other beings by shoes
and the occasional voice or two
Its another dimension
they try to look up
but they lost the courage.
Going up stairs
all they see is heels.

But they never focus on these things
no
they're lost in thought
those damned thoughts
reliving memories
wishing they could let go
they've lost that ability as well.

If you are one of these people
tell me
do you do it to shun others?
or yourself?
