How Many Roads

Orange vans and

The green ones with

Gum bottoms I

Got in seventh grade and

Loved to the near death of,

Yellow chucks and

My sister's hot pink ones,

Blazers with

Yellow swooshes and pink soles,

Blazer high-tops from my sister that

Literally began to peel apart, I

Could create a rainbow if I

Put together all the places

These shoes have taken me, all

The roads I've walked down to learn

Of the map that tracks who

I want to be;

These footsteps cover the

Every once empty space.
