I long for shoes that catch the eye

Insecurity

By UzminaPublished 3 years ago • 1 min read

I long for shoes that catch the eye,

That sparkle, shimmer, and catch the light.

But fear and doubt hold me back,

Afraid that others may mock or attack.

I worry what they'll say and think,

If I step out in shoes that blink.

Will they judge me for my style?

Or laugh at me and stay awhile?

So I settle for shoes that blend,

That don't stand out, but don't offend.

I hide away the pain inside,

Of feeling like I can't take the stride.

But maybe it's time to take a chance,

To step outside my comfort dance.

To wear the shoes that make me smile,

To walk with confidence and style.

For when I shine, I light the way,

And show the world that I'm okay.

I am unique, I am me,

And that's the best that I can be.

So I'll take a deep breath and make a choice,

To listen to my heart and find my voice.

To embrace my style, to take a chance,

And show the world my dazzling dance.

For shoes are more than just an accessory,

They're a symbol of my identity.

So I'll wear the shoes that shine and gleam,

And let my true self reign supreme.
