My New Sneakers

My new sneakers were pure white,
And the laces were pink neon,
On the inside it was airy,
But on the outside they were strong,
I wore my sneakers everywhere,
To school and to the park, 
And then I noticed something,
My sneakers were getting dark!
So I'm back to my old sneakers'
With cement on one side,
The laces were loose,
One time I tripped and almost died!
I think I should go barefoot instead of the ones that I worn out,
If that does not happen...
I think I'll wear a pout!
