Her shoes don't lie

The holes beneath her shoes symbolize the emptiness each man has left her with.
The broken shoe laces represent the spirit she tries to keep intact.
The torn leather is a metaphor for pieces of her soul that depression has taken.
The uneven heel speaks of the happiness that has been chiseled away by debt, dirt and pain.
Her missing tip says she is too far gone into her world of misery that she no longer knows her name.
The annoying Klip Klop sound her shoes make when she walks, are similar to the now empty sound of the voice that used to command respect in a boardroom.

When she runs away breathless and in fear of the darkness that chases, tugs and tries to grab onto her demanding for what little is left of her,it is those very shoes that seem useless to the world, that protect her fragile feet from the stones and bottles Jozi's night life ejaculate.

It is those filthy shoes that keep her sane from the chill of the night and keep her stable when the sun fulfills its purpose at noon. It is those shoes that keep her from the crawling creatures that try to have their way with her when she's awake. Her shoes mean nothing to other women in their louboutin, Vera Wang, Gucci and Guess heels. They see her as scum. They don't see her at all.

Her shoes are a disgrace to young girls in school uniform who walk past and spit on her in the street. Her shoes are worthless to the young boys who try to violate her everyday. But to her, her shoes define her, they don't lie about money she doesn't have. The don't shout Bling bling when their owner screams "I can't afford this life". Her shoes are her soul!
