Shoes

Shoes

Little feet, small shoes, short steps
Pedicured toes, right size, good pace.

MAKE your feet grow!
CHANGE your shoes!
TAKE bigger steps!

Small feet, different shoes, larger steps
Blistered toes, worn out shoes, tired pace.

NO!

Little feet, small shoes, shorter steps
Pedicured toes, right size, good pace.

Kept walking.

A poem based on perceived expectations that I allowed to be placed on me by another woman. I can not fulfill your expectations. Placing those expectations aside, defining my own path - I will keep walking.
