The Shoes

The shoes are worn down
The shoes have blood stains
The shoes represent pain
The shoes have been spit on
The shoes have stepped in doggie doo
The shoes REEK
The shoes have grass stains
The shoes are worn out
The shoes have lost their tread
The shoes remind me of sore muscles
The shoes thud on the pavement
The shoes have been caked with mud
The shoes are part of an unending cycle
The shoes caused blisters
The shoes formed callouses
The shoes have no more padding
The shoes have become discolored
The shoes sit and mock me
The shoes force me out the door
The shoes carried me 12.4 miles
       and therefore, gave me my freedom
