delicate dress

i can hear the audible tearing sound

as i tear away from this wicked gown

flowered and dainty

more so than i'll ever be

i coware in the corner

waiting to be scolded

waiting for them to try and make something out of me


but I don't fancy dresses

nor lace

or silk

i wish for a day to be in the sun

and not have to wear something fitted and tight

when jack frost arrives

i wish for no scarf

no delicate hat

no sweater of gold


i hope for a sunrise

where new can be found

and old will be buried deep in the ground

to the core of the earth

where no one will ever find

that delicate dress

that has long left my mind
