Forsaken Fashion

You walk on the slimy soil of fragile fame,
as slippery as the sliding mud in the rain,
with feet encased in fuzzy socks and crocs,
you trample the uncertain fashioned ground.

You stroll along the seafront of secluded show,
make footprints on the sands of self-styled beach,
but as the tides of time rush on and on,
these are washed away to the realm of obscurity.

The surge of the breaking waves splits the heart,
you see the soiled feet stripped to the skin bare,
walking alone in the corridor of stark reality,
your forsaken fashion finds nobody to attract.
