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

I know the way

I dress draws

attention.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieFieDK5Z1

The colors

I choose

might clash.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Jm1GoniA9

Laid out on the bed,

they don’t always match.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBoFLgV7b7

But I don’t lay them out.

I wear them.

I try them.

I look in the mirror.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPjbogWZQv

Do I feel like me?

If yes, I let it be.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4I3tLIvqNv

If something’s missing,

I’ll add a quirky touch—

a necklace,

a pin,

a shift in shade.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeLcFgxvzV

If it doesn’t feel

like my day,

I change it all.

A nighttime ritual

before sleep.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDfLuOUhbC

In the morning,

it becomes my armor—

to walk the world

outside my safe space.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQND7DUqpX

If someone stares,

let them.

If someone compliments,

I smile,

“I know,

I like it too.”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAe1bxGX4T

And if I like them back,

I’ll compliment them—

just to open a door.
