I run in high heels
I wear dresses to work
I tip the waitress
I snob the clerk
I am vain but insecure
Outgoing and lack confidence
I hide the fact
That I fear growing old
My statement is weak
My clothes are bold

Your statement is not weak to me, Lady, and you should fear nothing. The world is yours for the asking....

Very forceful ladysixstrings...I enjoyed very much...espcially the line that goes
"I am vain but insecure
Outgoing but lack confidence"
How i can relate


"my love is my motivation
my love is my inspiration
perception of this poem
is your interpretation"
-- me

Damn girl, running in high heels, I agree with BDc...that is talent!  

"I am vain but insecure" great line here.
You have no reason's to be insecure...then again what am I talking about, easier said then done.

Conflictual, a little bit anxious but extremely well done. I applaud you if you can run in highs heels, I never could not even when they were fashionable.
Be well

Old is in the heart........I know I am there in years.....but far from it in my heart.  You have shown us the powerful statements from your work so I must disagree that your statement(s) are weak.  Wonderful write lady of the strings.

I loved this - for its honesty - and  - I think you are more confident than you feel- moreover you have a right to be!

Stunning, love it. A statement many women would make, if they had the talent to place it into this form..
