Stilettos & Stereotypes


I went thrifting

and it was awesome;

I found a jacket

and a new button down

and a new love for high heels.

 

I've always thought that

stilettos were the 

coolest thing

ever;

I mean,

my mom wore them

and she's the coolest lady

on the planet,

 

but when I came out,

I just kind of...

accepted 

that I couldn't wear

stilettos.

 

I've never really

followed the

Gender Norms,

but I also

didn't want to

make waves, 

and stilettos definitely

make waves.

 

Today,

I realized that

I look 

really fucking good

in heels,

and gender norms can

suck my 

six-inch

stiletto.

All the sentences you may find have deep, dark secrets of my mind. If ye seek, then ye shall find; They might be bleak, they're unrefined. When you see them, please, don't sneer; I only wish for you to hear.
