Years ago

I wore anything that came my way.

The oldest hand-me-downs

to the $20 shirts with stupid faces.

Old cargo shorts fill my drawers a

and stupid hooded jackets

infest every corner of my wardrobe.

 

Years ago

I talked to anyone that would

give me two seconds.

A new friend

or an emerging acquaintance

every single day.

 

I feel like a child in those clothes now

those shirts and shorts

make me feel infantile.

 

I can count my closest companions on my hands

because who would talk

to me?
