It’s so easy to criticize,
Perform walks of
Perfection reigns,
Crowned standards,
Of acceptance.
Until your shoes break,
And you wear another.
Ones that needs breaking in
To stand your ground.
To fit in comfortably.
But the shoes don’t fit
Because you’ve changed.
Walk on someone else’s path
Is never easy, as we think,
No matter how clear it is.
So let’s just—
Walk in all the shoes
To feel grounded.
Take a step back
To take a step forward.

I am a Social Worker by day and an artist/writer by night. I use the written word in an attempt to make sense of the secret worlds and dysfunctional dynamics that lurk beneath the facades of our daily interactions. I am not sure how my writing styles are characterized, nor am I overly concerned about it. I am immensely enthusiastic about music and often connect better with songs than I do people. I also have an intense appreciation for quality wines and whiskies, frequently consuming them in excess. I like things that smell good and struggle to manage the symptoms of a life-long relationship with depression. So, why "grumpygorman"? Spend some time here and find out...
