Oct 2018
You looked great tonight.
You seemed to be in your element,
Surrounded by rich people,
You looked rich too.
I’ve never seen you in these types of events
But I guess I had to find out who you are.
The you that everybody sees,
The you for the public.
You looked fantastic in this waistcoat.
I’ve never really liked this outfit,
But it looks good on you.
You were praised tonight,
I know you’re used to it,
But I was not used to hearing all of these persons only complimenting you.
You didn’t see me that night.
Everybody saw me because I was out of place.
I suddenly became a stranger in your eyes.
You invited me,
But not my clothes apparently.
Stay with your waistcoat and your money
Tonight I’m free.
Free of judgements
Free of criticisms
Free of you.
I’ll leave in my dress.
I’ll leave with my heart and my values
Stay with your waistcoat and your shallow mind.
hey there
