I put makeup on
but not too much
I wore my favorite outfit
straightened my hair
I felt good
and pretty
I left my house
my home
my safe place
then
someone looked at me
a moment too long
a little too judging
today I look pretty
I thought
that's why people look at me
I thought
I am going to be okay
I met friends
and a lot of people
and I couldn't help myself
but felt all eyes were on me
but
not in a good way
in a way
that made me feel uncomfortable
in a way I wanted to sink in the floor
and never come back again
in a way
that made me reconsider
my decisions
of dressing up
of putting makeup on
of straightening my hair
of feeling good
and pretty
