Living outwardly

By pinkmouthedgirl

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

"But I only dress to please myself." "I wore the top you like." It seems she can't help it Or maybe this is how she wants to be. She wants to be seen As she intends- perhaps for this She should lose a little weight. She needs a reaction of some sort Ignorance she cannot deal with. She wants to be noticed To be thought about To be wanted. And of course she's not available. The high moral ground Another country She can't afford to visit Can't afford Can't afford to limit herself to a list Can't afford one more black mark Can't afford one more knock to her self worth Can't afford Till the word loses all meaning And the spelling becomes confused.
