Change

I'm enrolled in a poetry workshop so I figured I may as well share it here, my first poem ever!

"Change"

the stiff sole replaces
a well worn heel.
its new stiffness
mocks old comfort.

thus begins a breaking in.
a familiarization of
soft flesh with
artificial sheath.

soon blisters form
from the struggle
against change.
their result, pain.

our calluses mark relief.
small proofs of victory
in life's endless
struggle.
