I have holes in my shoes
not from age
but from walking and walking for so long
My clothes are tattered
My skin is red.
I am worn and gaunt
I feel like I won't reach my destination.
I cry for help
and I wait a long time
I look up and see people
concerned and awed at what they see.
They scramble around
trying to figure out how to revive me.
After some nourishment
and kind words
I slowly regain my strength
and I am on my way to try again.
