the provocative dress i wore tonight
made you wonder if i wore it for you
i could feel your stare the whole night
watching as my body flowed
underneath the fluorescent lights
you noticed all my details
how i held my drink in my hand
how deep my curves were
how all the men in the club,
were doing the same as you
the one thing you all failed to notice
is what i hid underneath
you all failed to see the scar above my lip
and the fact that i chew my nails too often
and the purple galaxies that litter my skin,
under the confines of my dress
