Shoes

You see that shoe.

And you think of how that shoe is just like you.

Dirty around the edges,

Not perfect

But a good fit

Not perfect

Yet still your second favorite color

Not perfect

But still pretty cute

And you think of how the shoe is just like you

Taking you places

Pushing you forward

Even

When

You'd rather sit

Lay down

Or just stand

And you think of how the shoe is just like you

Bringing adventure

Trial

Hardship

Obstacles

But coming in packages,

So you get

Friendship

And

Love

And you think of how the shoe is just like you

Sometimes making mistakes

Stubbing a toe

Staining the leather

And you wonder

What makes up for it all?

The days i spend shining

My shoes?

Or the days i spend shining

Her shoes?

And you think of how the shoe is just like you

Everyday

Trying

Sometimes

Falling short

Sometimes

Not good enough

And you think of how the shoe is just like you

Always living

And

Always walking
