A Life in Four Pairs of Shoes

[Marissacharles__]

Hiya! Wow this was a wonderful concept and I think with a few simple line changes could really enhance the poem. below I did a few line changes and took away filler words and structured it a little to its more cohesive. 

Hope you enjoy! 

Converse sneakers
old, beloved, and loyal
which guided her around halls and classrooms
between AP Calc, Drama, English 
teenage angst, boy crushes, and her infatuations 
She loved her shoes. 

beige bulky Timberland boots
Sturdy, strong, and flexible
she pulled herself up mountains and around riverbeds
she had the strength to do it, though she doubted every climb
limping home tired and exhilarated.

good old Nordstrom high heels
Suggestive, uplifting, and safe
striding from cubical to cubical, strutting to close deals,
entertaining guests on holidays and late nights
with pantyhose runs hidden by personality.

the old pair of sneakers
She drove in when the crash happened.

We brought the dress she loved 
But the shoes didn't make sense
It was almost disrespectful.
she wasn't going to wake up and need to walk on
Linoleum, dirt, and marble.
her toes needed no protection from pleated coffin silk.
a lifeless pair of feet, toes painted pink and finally free.
