Premium Member The Shoes I Lace Myself Into
I found them tucked beneath a cracked mirror, black leather dull with the dust of old grief, heels worn down from turning away— a shape molded by silence, not comfort. I wear them when the air grows sharp with voices, when praise feels like a trap, and critique, a stone under my tongue. I walk away before I bruise. These shoes make me...

Premium Member Unseasoned Shoes
What was he thinking when he dropped by shoelaces his unseasoned shoes? Did they splash or plip-plop land on lake?

But after that, she danced as if possessed by the spell...

A Pair Of Shoes
Love is like a pair of shoes If it does not fits you You feel discomfort and in pain If it fits you, you're at peace You can walk and run with ease The feeling of comfort Leads you to where you want to be If there are steeps to climb It's easy for your feet to move And arrive your destination with success....
