FEET
by ISIAH
The soles of my feet,
The foundation on which we lay.
Every time we stand up, we need that support so we don’t sway.
It’s the curve of the arc or the flatness of our heel.
We need it because without it we must stay still.
And if you don’t get it, try to stand up without your feet.
It’s impossible; it’s like tryna live without your heartbeat,
And it’s essential. Even the little toe matters.
Even though he’s the smallest, he’s the only one tryna get better.
And you better treat them right,
Or they’re gonna fall off when they hit the bone-chillin weather.
But it’s your decision whether or not you praise them.
But every curve of our existence
Is represented on our feet.
I think I found the eighth wonder of the world, cuz
That’s an amazing sight to see.
