This Is Me: Love or Hate, Don't Care - Armor of the Day

I know the way

I dress draws

attention.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkJTICeeth

The colors

I choose

might clash.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUwsOb9sPu

Laid out on the bed,

they don’t always match.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3OpZCt9Ih

But I don’t lay them out.

I wear them.

I try them.

I look in the mirror.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmedLkif2wx

Do I feel like me?

If yes, I let it be.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNHYm8wXIr

If something’s missing,

I’ll add a quirky touch—

a necklace,

a pin,

a shift in shade.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qxBLxHta2

If it doesn’t feel

like my day,

I change it all.

A nighttime ritual

before sleep.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WGHZwba4K

In the morning,

it becomes my armor—

to walk the world

outside my safe space.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1e9ydSVhOQ

If someone stares,

let them.

If someone compliments,

I smile,

“I know,

I like it too.”

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStFcDhL7km

And if I like them back,

I’ll compliment them—

just to open a door.
