A/N 6/12/15: I just found this one in the same booklet of the other two poems...
This was supposed to be a "personification poem", giving human-like traits to an inanimate object. So... Shoes? XD I think the rhythm is a little bit off, but um... I hope you enjoy... and if it's just plain weird, that's cool too. XD

Thoughts of a Shoe
Do you recall the day
When inside the box I lay?
Little did I know
What greatness you'd show
When I would be yours to stay.
Blue hedgehog.
I knew you'd be an athlete
The moment that I hugged your feet
But certainly not
I'd never have thought
That you could never be beat.
Runner extraordinaire.
Every day, in snow or in dirt
My fabric you'd stretch and exert
But the joy on your face
Could not be replaced
No matter how much it hurt.
Eyes twinkling like lights.
We went so many places
Encountered all sorts of faces
The good, the bad
And the just plain sad
And went on wild goose chases.
You're pretty crazy.
At first I was shocked
By the hours you clocked
How you could almost fly
And how hard you'd still try
Even when all efforts were blocked.
But that's what makes you cool.
I came to know your moods, one and all
"I'm going out" - and that was my call
If happy, you'd dance
If tense, take a stance
Or angry, throw me at the wall.
Our walks were runs.
Not just adventure and fun
Not just sprints in the sun
No matter what pain
In spite of the rain
You'd pick me up and we would run.
You are mine.
Together a formidable tower
I was rumored to give you power
No way we could lose
At the speed we could cruise
Seven hundred miles an hour.
And I am yours.
A hero's burden is heavy, not light
Still you defended what you thought was right
No such a cause
No matter your flaws
Saw a hero with such prowess and might.
I wouldn't trade for another.
So though others are seated on a pedestal high
If I was alive, I'd rather die
Though very well used
And thoroughly abused
No shoes could be happier than I.
Thank you, Sonic.
