Outfits
May 20, 2019
I change my clothes
Everyday
New clothes,
New me
I feel like I don’t fit in
I want to fit in
But I never can.
My clothes don’t help
I can’t change who I am
There’s no cure for this,
A neverending curse
Of mistaken identity
A change of clothes can’t fix this,
Maybe a change of mind can
Attire doesn’t define me
Who I say I am does

I hope people take away from this that, when finding your identity, it doesn't matter what you look like or what other people think of you. You define yourself. How you feel, and the person you want to be describes who you are. Dab on the haters. A change of clothes isn't necessary, but rather a change of mind. I am me.
