My Pretty Dress

by Marly   Jan 23, 2009


Today I put on my pretty dress
And looked at myself in front of the mirror
Hoping I would feel a little better
And see things a little clearer
I put on some mascara
But it ran from my eyes
I put on a smile
But it didn't cover the lies
Today I ran into some old friends
Feeling like they didn't even know my name
I felt like i had changed
And they had all stayed the same
When I got home I looked at the clock
Feeling like it was ticking too slow
I was sort of lost
Not knowing where to go
I sat alone on my bed
Knowing that i felt like a mess
But I'll fool them all again tomorrow
When I put on my pretty dress

    I know fully well the feeling of putting on a smile just so you look like everything is alright. it's nice to know that someone else feels the same way. and i love the metaphore, pink dress.... absolutely perfect.
