Confined in socks,
encased in shoes,
suffocated by boots,
and restrained by high heels.
My feet want to be free,
they want to feel the sand in-between
their toes,
they want to rejoice in the cool water
sloshing around them,
they want to run on grass,
with ultimate speed,
run, to be freed.

For all those people like me who would much rather walk around life in bare feet.

I know your talking about something simple here. This poem is talking about something more deeper than it may seem. It's talking about freedom from oppression. I love it. You demonstrate one thing but in subtle way you talk of something so grand. 5 stars.
