Analysis of The well-worn shoes



The well-worn shoes
Forlorn, unused
The well-worn shoes
Just inches away from the refuse

They stay mute
Neither crying nor fighting
Their silence absolute
No yelling, no shouting

The great pain inside
Only adds fuel to their spite

But, too tired to make a sound
They sing, their voice found
It's hollow
It's mellow
Yet a relief from a voice bound
