Green jacket

By VagrantGypsy

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

You walk so self-assured Pretending you’re not afraid of the world You know exactly who you are and what you want But try to be everything you’re not You’re so grown up; you’re so much more mature But really, you’re just a girl with big brown curls and a green jacket Living in a wonderland when she needs to escape reality A psychedelic princess born in the wrong decade You stand out in a room full of people Maybe it’s the bracelets, maybe the sandals It’s in what she says, the way she moves Too bad she's unaware of the beauty that flows from beneath a green jacket Written March 30th, 2002 © on Apr 22 2002 03:54 AM PST   18 • 0 • 10
