Dress Up and Shine
i look around and see all the colors of their masks
the white satin dress that wrap her body beautifully,
the red flannel that he tied around his waist,
the yellow jacket that they proudly wear,
those dancers look amazing,
all glittery and radiant
they are the star of the show
all eyes on them
my teacher looks nice in that blue suit,
she looks firm and strict,
but also smart and kind at the same time
i look at myself in the mirror and see
these jeans that i got last year,
they are a bit ripped,
but they make me look adventurous
white shirts with black stripes,
i pick this one out from my wardrobe,
i was going for a chic look
the black boots and leather jacket that i'm wearing,
they are so comfy,
yet they make me look dangerous
this is how i want people to look at me
take all of those off,
then who am i?
what can people tell about me?
can you figure me out?
underneath my clothes,
i am naked
no strings to cover my true form
i may look tough with my fancy clothes
but deep down,
i am fragile
the clothes that we put on everyday
create a character for ourselves
disguising our true colors
hiding our brittleness
that is why,
that moment they undress you,
is a critical point
cause that is when they get to see you,
the real you
and judge you for who you truly are
i must admit,
that we are playing character
so, choose yours wisely
