New Shoes

Red, black, brown.
Pink, purple, polka dots.
Boots, slippers, sneakers.
Flip-flops, sandals, Uggs.
We walk through this world on our shoes...
Our shoes are our personas.
Some people get a life-long guarantee on theirs,
waterproof, petproof, peopleproof.
Others' shoes wear thin.
They have to go try another pair on.
Goth, prep, nerd.
Step careful, you might lose a shoe...

It's okay to let some go.
A few walk barefoot.
They've been pushed beyond,
to the point of no return.
Be kind to them,
offer an old pair.
You just might save a life.
