WORN OUT PAIR OF BOOTS
Can I ask you a question how do you see ME through your own eyes, when you look at me do I look and appear normal to you as you look into my eyes? Can I ask you a question, what do you know of me as you see ME through your own eyes, for do you see the steps I had to take just to be normal? Do you see the deepness of my heartache and pain, along with the process of the inner suffering as I fight. The demons within the depth of my mind coming from night dreams from once upon a time. Can I ask you a question do you see ME as one of many wondering nameless faces, living upon the streets in the dead of winter in the bitter cold struggling to get warm and a hot meal to eat. Can I ask you a question do you really know, my story of where I've been and gone within this cycle known as life. For I am one of the faces of many before ME those struggling, fighting with the inner demons that walks through the stairways and gateways of our thoughts. Those thoughts that appears of the images of countless faces, that once had life as I too had a life before I got to be here like those that, have become forgotten soldiers discarded like an olde pair of worn out BOOTS.

Yeah they nice when they are new🤗 but I wonder how many people can walk in our boots trying to survive, through the hash reality of the madness and insanity of PTSD and be able to tell their story with true conviction of where we've been and gone 🤔👁

You are so right on point with that statement it's a way of seeing where folks true subconsciousness level of self consciousness lays beneath the surface conversation is more about you and how one sees the world through there own eyes and mind to have an intellectual conversation of thoughts and ideas 🤔👁🙏

Indeed it does speak volumes of the real truth of what it is like to be homeless living on the streets homeless struggling with mental health issues and homeless being a veteran who suffers from all of the above mention situation it's sad that we live in a world pool by greed and corruption and jealousy and destruction of the human soul to blinded by self gratification of a want and need for the finder things in life yet there are those less fortunate to have what those crave yet don't appreciate what they have in front of there eyes 🤔👁😕👊👊👊

I appreciate the support and understanding of this piece that is very dear and deep to my heart and soul as a veteran soldier who came home from war only to have to deal with the process of returning to a place that has completely changed right before my eyes as I saw first hand being homeless as a man how people treated us as soldiers it's very hard to understand 👁

Yeah I like my boots new🤗 but sometimes situations changes that's life whether most want to believe it or not and Yes it can be taken in so many ways yet the mean force is homelessness and being a veteran facing this type of situation suffering with PTSD but mainly HOMELESSNESS which can happen to each and every one of US at any time in our lives👁🙏🤔
