Description
Never minding the pain in her feet
From the tight straps on her wedge heels,
She continued her stride to her next class.
Her flowing black skirt danced with every step.
She admired its performance by glancing at
The skirts distinctive silhouette
Branching out from her moving shadow
While she observed the back and forth steps
She forced her feet to make.
Staring at the ground while walking was a habit
She had taught herself in order to avoid
Making eye contact with the people who pass her by.
This trait was not formed due to an act of shyness,
But more in an act of fear.
Not the fear of strangers,
But the fear of being strange.
She believes that her eyes
Are the windows to her secrets.
Memories that are hers alone.
Thoughts capable of discrediting her sweet persona.
She didn’t want people to find out
About her.
About her other side.
