if my shoes could talk

They would have two tales
Of a shy timid girl
Whose confidence has been ripped to shreds
By those who say she cant, she couldn’t
My new black heels would say, your feet are too small

They would tell
Of the tough brave confident girl
That puts up a front so deceitful
Even to those who think they can rip her apart
Yes, my sister’s cream shoes would say, your feet are too big

They would say to me,
Wipe that tear off my well-tanned leather
That tear won’t bring him back; it won’t bring them all back
So wipe the tears from your face, I am turning all soggy here
Is what my brown shoes would say.

They would rant,
Why do you never take me to church?
Why do you never come with me to visit the sick?
Why don’t you wear me oft to visit the homeless?
The blue salsa shoes would ask, why do you wear me at all?

They would roar with laughter
When I sing and pretend I am a diva
When I start to dance so lame
They would tell me to stop the madness, to stop embarrassing them
My brown suede boots would.

My shoes would tell you this
Because they were down there the whole while
Watching it all unfold from up above
If only they could talk,
My red sneakers would say, how you have loved me so.

Disclaimer; I have never ever claimed I was a poet.

I must say, you are completely out of character with this. the tone of your usual posts does not suggest you can also go down this road. and I thought you could hide your feelings good. chips falling off?

Phoenix said...

Whoa, this is really impressive. I am shocked but then again, any friend of mine....you are a good poet.
What would my shoes say?
I know you love me but it wouldnt be betrayal to buy another pair in the same year. Let me go when since my best years are behind me.

First of all I want to say great blog! I had a quick question in which I'd like to ask if you do not mind.
I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your thoughts before writing.
I have had a hard time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out there.

I do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to
be wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or hints?
Thank you!

Aw, this was an exceptionally nice post. Taking the time and actual effort to
make a very good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate a whole lot and never seem to get
anything done.

I've been browsing online greater than 3 hours lately, but I
by no means discovered any attention-grabbing article like yours.
It's lovely value sufficient for me. In my view, if all web owners and bloggers
made excellent content material as you probably did,
the internet shall be much more helpful than ever before.
