Cardigan To Cape

‘The doctor put her hands over my liver. She told me my resentment's getting smaller,-‘ Phoebe Bridgers

There’s nothing wrong with changing your hairstyle
Especially when you’ve been lost in the blue for a while

You were there for me
When it all fell down
On the living room floor
It wasn’t enough time
I needed more

Thought it was applause
Just the echoes
Of clapping
Left from someone so much more talented than me
They’re leaving, not laughing
It’s a Christmas kind of light beam
We all know thunder will beat lightning

Capes are cardigans just with a lighter sky and ladybugs beneath
I’m so far from home, so far away
Underneath the glowing blue sky
I’m so proud of this and all the time
They spent showing me how to over shine
My worse enemies

I hate to rely on this
It’s so scary
You look so wrong without your necklace
Running upstairs, laughing cause we found home and an old list
Dusty
But home

Golden brown and cloudy gray
A new way
To face the next day
To race to first pay

I went from cardigan to cape
All the choices I made dedicated to keeping up your ruins
I hate
But I’d do it all again

I’ve decided to do it all again
My old renegade, my new friend

Author's Note

Not sure of what importance this is, but I’m gonna post a bit of an older poem, and then a newer one. So this ones a few months old, although the last few lines are new. So you’ll be getting a more recent one next! And so on and so forth. Thank you all so much for the kind reviews, and I hope you have a wonderful day. (:

First blush? Reads like a break up poem. Used to see things like this in our school magazine for highschool. An interesting poem. Also another one that reads like spoken word. You should consider your own channel on YouTube. I know I am. See ya soon! 😁

overshine my worst enemies.
Like in a Langston Hughes' poem called "Cross"---
it is much lighter when we wear less anger...
feel like the speaker has kept up her own ruins...lots of work to do that.
but I think she is satisfied with the change of attitude clothing.
