I was Seven,

Mommy said we're going out

to buy me a nice pair

of big girl shoes.

 

Simple black Mary Janes

with tiny bows,

ones that won't pinch

my little toes.

 

I am eighteen now,

I finally have them!

a pait of tall Lady heels

I so longed to try.

 

I eagerly put them on,

letting Mommy's warning fly.

Hours later,

I found out why.

Thank you, MissEmilyDickinson, for your kind appreciation.
Yes, I must agree; heels are indeed, a pain in the butt!
This comment made my day :)

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.

Haha, this is why I don't like wearing high-heels. I hope you know, I'm not laughing at you. I love this poem. It's wonderfully written and also, talentedly written. It's amazing. Thank you for sharing this, Miss_Orange. ^_^
