one trick pony

[jimthecat]

i have one nice pair of shoes
they are really fucking cool
people comment on them
they shine at them
their eyes glaze
i can see into them when they look on me
they stare down at my feet
try to
but my cool fucking shoes stop them

the next time they see me
i am still wearing them
confident
but their brain is used to them
and they are not charmed as they were the first time
and i
can't afford to keep them 
charmed
as they once were
they walk away
talking to each other
paying me no mind

so it seems i am a one trick pony

but really
only three people actually looked at my shoes
and maybe
i think one
said they were nice
after i asked them what they thought of them

i was the one charmed by them
i am the one trapped
made me feel like i had even one trick
