i’m not a poet
i am always looking down at my feet and it’s not because i’m afraid of looking at the sun or because i won’t want to look into your eyes when you speak to me. i look at my feet because these shoes are my freedom of expression, my creativity when i’m wearing jeans and a black shirt. i see myself when i look at my feet and it means more to me than looking in the mirror at this face that i’ve pierced but don’t embellish with make-up but that’s another story. there’s a reason my only tattoo was placed on the side of my foot and it’s not because it’s easy to hide or because that’s where other girls get them. it’s because that’s where i see it most. so if you ever want to know who i am or what i like or even what mood i am in today, just look at my feet.
