I was strolling through town when I was met
Met with a discomfort that caused me to limp, I’ll never forget

As I focused on the feeling, it centered around my feet
Feet used for walking, but my right was dying for relief

I paused and felt the culprit moving about
About to sit on a bench with the sky empty of clouds

I pulled off my shoe and found the reason for pain
Pain I recognized from dealing with your daily distain

Were you ever happy or happy complaining?
Complaining about the blue sky and how it should be raining

Much like this pebble the irritation started small
Small discomfort causing my joy to stall

This small stone reminds me of you
You are the pebble in my shoe
