Converse in Green Perfection

The scuffs that spoil the white,

They paint a picture of everywhere they’ve been,

Like a frayed passport, broken at the seams.

Quotes line the outer edges,

Screaming about being angry

Pictures line the inner edges,

A wall of hope and love.

The insides are burnt, while the outside seems fine

Like someone hiding their history

Perfect on the outside, the tears make them so,

Tired, bruised, and overlooked –

A short novel of adventures

Experienced time and time again

In this repetitious and mundane world.

Beaten into submission, a faithful and loyal companion

They walk the road, but don’t walk the line.

Faded black laces, never tying loose ends.
