I’d like to one day step out of the shoes of insecurity. There are days when I wander and ponder meaninglessly, squandering time and the opportunities it entails, treading across the circles I’ve already crossed.

Where I look and envy those who run with the shoes I wish I wore. And carelessly leave my own laces untied on as I stutter and trip like any airhead.

Through the simplest of paths where even little rocks are scarce. I’d like to run as fast as those around me; I’d like to be the winner of the infinite race.

Where when all the paths I see are plain in sight the path I take myself is none. And I imagine the journeys that I cannot see, the journeys I do not run with the different shoes I do not wear.

The light of the sun is shining on a summer’s day. I hide in the shadow and tie my shoes, contemplating their worth.

I’d like to one day make use of the shoes I have and run the distances I would imagine I could.

And step into a new pair of the same shoes, knowing what I knew before.
