Cold out as I smile for the picture.
You would think I would know with all the winter gear I’m wearing.
But really I just wanted to show off my new outfit and lipstick.
To be the center of attention that day felt great.
For I’m reality fitting in feels like a challenge and that type of battle I just can’t shake.
I want to be me but not be alone when I know I’m with getting to know.
Maybe today someone will start with me but I will walk around and she see who reacts to me in a good vibe and then let them decide whatever it is now.
