Looking for my Shoes

how many of them
you wear
throughout your life…

they started out
small
and changed
a lot
over the years.
different styles,
different sizes.

a certain pair
is made
for a certain path.

now
i am looking
for the right pair
to help me tread
the path
that i’m on.
for i don’t like
blisters and blood,
i like
smooth and painless.
