the ground beneath my feet

what would i do without the green grass under my feet
when the sun is out and my toes turn the colour pink
the world under my feet, sad, lonely and grey

i'm just a girl living on rocks, standing on concrete ground
feet burning and aching to feel the sky without the sun
a soft sweet comfort underfoot
instead of a harsh reality grating at one's toes

the girl living on rocks struggles
with a conflict between a life underfoot touching one's skin
and the life up above, touching one's soul and mind

colours below are grey like lead in a pencil
staying still and solid
unmoving, a sketch created to hurt those living on land

the rocks, cold pavement
and humanities helpless unprotected feet
feel the pain of living on a cold and harsh ground
where everything just hurts

walking outside , feet gravely soar
mind is crying, taunted by the blue sky
living on rocks, barefoot on a cold pavement
every step hurts like hell

these are the people who suffer in their minds
and in their life
walking a path they should never have to walk
living on a earth which hurts
a ground which hits them in the toes
and won't let go
