Puce Isn't Much Better

Dear Me,
That is one ugly top.
The colors make me sick
That shade of yellow makes you
look Jaundiced
Those polka dots are bloated
The seams are ripped on the sleeve
The top must have shrunk in the wash
And
That silhouette is so last year.

For all of love that is good:
NEVER wear that thing AGAIN.

But for now I'll just say you look
Chic
Fabulous
and Cute
Because if I told the truth
You'd disagree with me
Anyway.

this is soo good. it shows that you don't care what anyone thinks. you're like a rock and nothing will get to you, i want to be more like this, i always pretend that i don't care what people think, but i really do. I just don't change who i am for them. i really respect people like this. nice piece.
