FEATURED: Was It a Dream?: Navigating Life’s Journey Through Poetry by Larada Horner-Miller

High Heels
1990s
 
I gave up high heels years ago—
            I love their look
                        Perky & sexy,
                        Grown-up!
 
I had dreamed a little girl’s dream
            To wear them
                        In the grown-up world,
                        Not in play.

So I did—
            For years!
Much of the time
            I still felt like
                        The little girl dressing up,
                                    Though!
 
I gave them up—
            Practicality
                        Pain
                                    Comfort!

The little girl misses the moments
            They produced!
