Submission by Lisa Schiftan : For Only One Day!

For Only One Day !

                  

If for only one day,

Could you be free,

Free of the chronic pain,

Free of the anxiety.

If for only one day,

Could the shoe be one the other foot.

And you didn’t hear the

Belittling words, the

Negative prods at your humanity.

If for only one day,

Could you choose the shoe’s you wanted to wear,

And shed the weight of the pair you wear,

Would you ever truly

Feel free.
