Clothes

Some clothes I don’t wear anymore. 
Some weird patterns all over. 
Or just a stain from a cursed coffee mug. 
The clothes which bring me to life?
Are:
My favorite florals. 
Colorful. 
I don’t even like green, but still…
Something about this type of green looks good on me. 
Well worn yet still soft. 
When I wear that lovely jean jacket?
My eyebrows unfurl. 
Frilly headband. 
Button down, striped shirt. 
Orange pants with a purple belt. 
I have everything I need-
Except those yellow shoes from the store…
So maybe I’ll get those and donate something else…
Anything else. 
Someday. 
But for now, I am open to new clothes. 
Dear Old T-Shirts:
You’re still nice sometimes.
