So I Dress...

Writer: whisperfornowwhisperfornow

I’m so much MORE

BUT YOU WANT ME TO BE…

BEAUTIFUL, POMPOUS

STUNNING, SEXY

VISUAL & LOUD

LOUD ENOUGH FOR YOU TO SEEK

LOUD ENOUGH FOR YOU TO WANT

LOUD ENOUGH FOR YOU TO NOTICE…

And that makes it HARD for me to BE…

Who I REALLY am, who is really ME…

So I DRESS & FUSS & laugh & play

Just to be noticed throughout the day…

AND then when things go wrong,

and my ESSENCE is stolen away…

YOU turn around and you say…

YOU ASKED FOR IT

Really…

KCK

This poem was written to address SOCIETY, as a whole. Because we have the need to be somebody, to dress a certain way, to try…

Which leads us to this beautiful song from Colbie Caillat “Try”.
