Creative Writing#1

I am so bored! I used to get to go outside where there is sunshine. Oh and never mind how powerful I used to feel when others looked at me. Now I just sit around in this dark closet in this tight uncomfortable box that I hate. There have been so many days that I've seen my owner glance at me. Oh how excited I'd get only to be let down when she would pick another pair. I mean I know I've lost a few sparkles and yes I used to be shinier but am I really damaged goods? I used to stop traffic and now no one sees me.

There have been some new boxes that have come in and I try and warn them of their possible short shelf life but they never believe me. They wait until she brings in more before they come to the realization that they are stuck in here just like me. Some have left and never come back and I can only wonder where they went. Her old pair of blue wedges spoke of some place called Goodwill but I'm not sure if I believe them. I honestly think it's a wise tale but who really knows.

I will say that I have made some new friends here in the closet. I would've never thought in a million years that I would be caught dead speaking to a pair of flats but it turns out that they aren't so bad. So here I am in this box in the closet waiting to get back out in the world and dazzle. A girl can still dream right!

Lost in translation,
