Heel-Toe

Train writing session.

As young girls, we are taught to walk heel-toe. 

Because as young girls we are slowly being prepared for womanhood.

Where we must walk heel-toe.

But, me? 

I just walk.

In flat shoes, through mud and cobbles.

Where there is no threat of a kitten keel getting stuck. 

Because, I like the outdoors, instead of function rooms.

I like the moonlight, not the ballroom lights. 

I like forest-fires and bonfires, not candles. 

When my best friends were having tea-parties, I was playing tag.

When my sister was playing with dolls, I was in my roller blades. 

When the girls at school played princesses, I wanted to play football.

Most women walks heel-toe.

I just walk. 

As a woman. 

I have learn to walk according to incline, to environment, and comfort. 

Sometimes, I even walk toe-heel.
