she said winter was her favorite
because it let her cover her flaws
so that whenever you happened to look
all you saw were heavy coats, gloves and scarves
she said leggings were her favorite
because they weren't restricting like jeans
because they let her walk the world
with tender legs and sturdy light feet
she said she wasn't inspired
by the past's woes or the present's time
but she is looking towards the future
to erase her life's lies
to not just longingly sigh
but to be propelled to her dreams
to show the world, life wasn't ever as it seemed to be
for her and to her scars
she will give a toast to alone in the middle of the night.
