Best Foot Forward

It takes me so much effort to get into these.

When it comes time to think about taking them off, though,

I'm already feeling SO good,

that I actually find myself thinking,

I can't wait to do this again tomorrow.

Then tomorrow comes,

and it takes me so much effort to get into these.

How is it that I can be

for myself and against myself?

Maybe this is why runners compete

against their own best time.

I guess the point is to keep moving forward,

step by step, regardless of whether I'm wearing these shoes.
