      A Walk In My Shoes - LaQueisha Malone

      This book is dedicated to the Late Great

      Dr. Maya Angelou.

      She is the inspiration behind my writing poetry after reading I Know Why the Caged Bird Sing and hearing her performing Spoken Word poetry on the television.

      Thoughtless

      ". . .blown away in the wind

      Twirling in circles in the world it’s in.

      Bond with chains and shackles

      Wanting to be free.

      Face to the ground down on my knees

      . . .set me free I beg of thee.

      I ignore my thoughts as they wonder away.

      Flowing straight to the heart like a dart. . .

      Oh!  On this rainy day."

      I’m Sorry

      You said you were different, and to think,

      I believed you.

      I had to be blind and out of my mind to play this fool.

      Break up and make up is the name of the game.

      "I’m sorry, Baby. I’ll never do it again believe me I’ve changed.  I’ll prove it to you if you give me a chance.  You just can’t give up on us now, you just can’t.  Not after all we’ve been through, smooth valleys and hard times.  If you say it don’t matter you’ll be lying.  Think about it, Baby, the ups, the downs.  What about the love we shared does it mean anything right now?"

      "I’m sorry, Honey.  I’ve been holding on too long.  You know as well as I know what you did was wrong.  If the good outweigh the bad, we just might make it, but what you did I just can’t seem to shake it.  Don’t get me wrong we can always be friends.  You put me through too much, where do I begin?  Tell me, if the shoe was on the other foot, and you were stepping in mine, what would you do?  Where would you go?  How would you feel in due time?"

      Sweet Melody

      Some things are not always

      what they appear to be.

      Your thoughts lead you as far as the eyes can
