If You Were A Pair Of Shoes...

If you were a pair of shoes…
I would ask for my money back. You have been way too expensive in so many ways. You look great on me but I don’t get the chance to wear you very often. You sit on a shelf high in my closet and taunt me. I no longer have many outfits that match you. You are not comfortable enough to wear every day around the house. Every day I think of you and wish you were like that glass slipper I could slide onto my foot and it would be perfect and forever…but you are not. I have tried repeatedly to make it fit. You don't give any and I can no longer keep shoving myself into you. You leave me with blisters and battle wounds. You do not cushion me and make me feel like I'm walking on air anymore. The newness and excitement of you has worn off. I think I need something less flashy and a little more practical these days. There are a million pairs of shoes out there that just might be a better fit for me. Sure, they might not make me leap for joy and exclaim "I must have them!!" like I did when I found you, but that doesn't mean they aren't good, quality shoes. I'm not the kind of girl that will suffer for appearances anymore. If it doesn't fit, I must quit.
