I’m shopping for shoes
So many choices
Which is your favorite?
Which would make you smile?
Or even notice me?

Purple converse
Look original, casual
An eye-catching color
But I wear too much purple
I don’t want you to think I’m colorblind
Or something

Black leather over-the-knee boots
Appear edgy, cool
Even silver studs on the sides
But I’m not edgy
I don’t want you to think I’m a hypocrite
Or something

Yellow running shoes
Seem athletic, exciting
Easy to exercise in
But I can still be girly
I don’t want you to think I’m boring
Or something

Brown ballet flats
Look sweet, approachable
Comfortable fabric, too
But I wouldn’t be wearing socks
I don’t want you to think I’m dirty
Or something

Pink sandals
Appear fun, relaxed
Added jewels on the straps
But what if I wear them after the summer?
I don’t want you to think I’m dumb
Or something

Green casual sneakers
Seem basic, ordinary
Just like the pair I had before
So what if I wear them every day?
I want you to think I am who I am
Or nothing
