Who tells a free spirit where to go?

couldn't care less about trends

dressing for the girls

I dress like I’ve seen it all,
& couldn’t care less.

My clothes
loose, frayed,
you’d stumble upon
at the bottom of a second-hand pile,
rugged, a little dirty,
periwinkles tucked in pockets.

I let trends pass me by,
trains I never meant to catch.

What you see is what you get
a rough-around-the-edges realness
built on comfort & survival
more than any notion of looking good.

But somehow,
it ends up looking good.
(At least, I like to think so!)

My hair, oh, my hair!
It doesn't know neat or trim.

On a good day it’s a bird's nest at best
Untamed, unbothered, and utterly mine.
