Dress Your Own Way- Day 68
April 19, 2022•180 words
Dress to impress?
No, I dress to destress
Dress your own way, be your own empress
My fashion is in style,
My whole life spent in guile,
But Imma make waves with a conscientious smile
Tried to follow styles that weren’t made to last,
But all of that was me trying to change my past
Now I’m not afraid of the style that I adorn
Even my society can’t hold me to the norm
So many lifestyles I tried before I came back,
So please excuse me for not being on track
I’m an experiential learner but my pace ain’t slow,
Sometimes I gotta live through things so I can grow
My mentality on life isn’t made of stone
It changes with time as I change my tone
I may appear as a lost soul to you,
But what do you know about the journey I went through?
It takes time to integrate these memories
Because inward growth can feel like centuries
My life’s worth isn’t so clear to me,
But I know it’s special cuz it’s meant to be
