A poem about modern fashion and fashion girlies (like me) ✨💕

Disclaimer: This is my first time writing a poem in English, so that's why it may sound weird. Sorry for that

A dress up tale

I put on my platforms and mod dress

to run backwards the shifting baseline

that just drowned itself 

Stole a real fur coat 

just to feel its embrace

Tried to reach the angels 

with my quiffed hair

Mane like a siren's to talk with them

Pointy bra, I'm not powerless

If I put on lipstick, 

I'll kiss this mess away.


Perfect boning in my corset,

so that I'll hug me like no man

Ripped tights will protect my steps 

Vaporous skirt, I can't be contained


Black frames on my piercing eyes

that stare at the abyss,

so it can stare me back

Coral earrings to listen to the sea

Opal necklace will be this cloud's plinth


My nails painted emerald green

point at the past that will comfort me,

escape the future that will come for me,

scratch the sadness that will confront me.

I can't lock myself in the way we wore

just to remember the way we felt


when we felt.
