WALKING IN HEELS

Today I took a walk

A long, long walk…

But I didn’t use my shoes…

I decided to wear another’s

But they wouldn’t fit…

Because they weren’t my size…

I tried the first pair, but they were too small

I tried another, too big!

I decided to wear them all the same…

I tried a set of high heels…six inches…oh my!

I felt tall

I felt confident

Elevated….like the Eiffel tower

It made me feel superior…

But wait!

At the same time…I began to feel fear, anxiety…

My palms became sweaty…I was nervous…

Yet again, I’d given out my most prized possession

The very thing that holds my existence…

To the one…that special one…

Or is he? He feels like the one, looks like the one,

He even talks like the one…

But I thought the last three, four, five, were the one…

And they turned out not to be…

I’m really afraid, but my smile conceals my fear…

I feel so small…but my beautiful heels raise  me high…

I feel insecure, but my makeup and accessories…

Make confidence my personality…

I feel so fragile…but my poise and style make me look strong…

It takes nerves of steel, for any trying to be ‘the one’ to approach me…

But beneath all my elegance and grace

Is a heart soft and weak…

Pleading, not to be broken…again!

Finally, I removed the heels…

And stood on my own feet…

I had come down  ‘to earth’

Finally knowing how it felt…

To walk in the shoes of a woman…

And made a decision…

To be the one, that special one…

That would love and cherish her…

Like no other…

To be the one, to dissolve her fears…

To restore her hope and confidence…

With my love…Love that’ll forever last…

Erase all memories of her past…

Because I know how it feels…

To take a walk…in a woman’s heels

    Can a man actually bear the pains women bear? Every man should learn to value a/his woman. Nice piece there.

    1. Tanx a lot for the compliments dear….men can never bear a woman’s pains…but a real woman knows his woman’s worth and value…
