My brand new shoes

I tap my brand new shoes,
On the wooden floor
In a steady rhythm...
In hopes
That the sunset will not be as bright

May I stand strong when the day comes
Please...
To face them.

I like the first stanza better than the second stanza. The second stanza kind of confuses me, what is going on? And it makes the shoes less happy. Although, in the last line of the first stanza, "the sunset will not be as bright," that does have an ominous tone.

I wonder who "them" are?

All around, nice poem! I like it. Interesting. Different. The shoes idea is cute. :)

You must be super busy - no new postings since December. I know you come and go in spurts but you have some definite talents. (Maybe you are in the process of a move - I think that is what was said - I can't remember - lol). Hope you get back to posting soon and that your studies are going well. E :)
