Hi Lynn, so THAT's what it's like being a woman! I was going to suggest
that there was a line (or even a verse) missing at the end, but then
realised that you've achieved more by leaving the poem hanging on the
suggestion of 'all things high heeled'.

So the only thing I can say for sure is that there's a possessive missing
in 'night's', line three. I really like the control of textual space for
punctuation, but there's a possible argument for using a couple of devices
to smooth reading. I'll fiddle below to show how I read it.

Best wishes, John

The eyes in the mirror look back
                                 reflecting
on last nights tears
        They tell me to toughen up
I can't                       I cover up
with expensive make- up
designer labels and my 'amaze
them bra'
                                    Later
I slip on my business suit
secure the shoulder pads  and
check my tights for ladders
(those runs don't lead to the finish line
      they finish your run up the ladder)
After coffee
            it's vitamins and filtered tobacco
before I kick off the slippers
            and climb aboard four inch heels
