Today
I wore high heels to school.
and my mother said to me in the parking lot,
'be careful on the stairs.
and if something goes wrong and you have to flee,
just take off those shoes and run.'
if something goes wrong,
take off those shoes and run.
I said okay and I nodded because I have heard all this before.
be prepared for the worst.
if you have to run for your life in school,
take off those pretty shoes and leave them.
I should not be expecting to run for my fucking life in school.
