Skate shoes, jeans, and a tee shirt
Why wasn’t this good enough?
Pants sagged because I wanted
Others I put on to appear thinner
It depended on the audience
Pierced ears at 5 so no one would question
Question the tomboy they all saw
Family events felt like picture day
After brow wax “You look so much prettier” she boasted
“Don’t forget your necklace”
New shirt, still stitched wrong
“You’re still a ragginmuffin”
I stitch my own shit now
