Too High Heels
I'm too tightly wrapped
my tears flow freely
struggle to breathe
heart's aching so dearly.
If I try to walk
I will surely fall down
I will break my glass body
and topple my crown.
heart's beating so fast
like It's gone for a run
it's heading straight into
the heart of the sun.
I just tried to stretch
and my neck just went "crack"
I'm way too reluctant
to take these high-heels back.
