Elevated Ellie

Bringing out all the little tricks in her bag wanting to impress and edge up in 
standing of her circle of influence
having left behind the squares of preponderance
She laughed aloud at herself before anyone 
else could

Out of the box and tossed in air the garments
was flying everywhere big poofs of gauzy and fluttery finery no better satins could be
had for the scenery besides Who would not stop and stare when she's seen there in something looking close to underwear
 

Alas, my poor girl who's direction is askew if you only knew. Take off put on repeat all day you wish you had a better you
but nothing is going to change from the outside in so find some new fittings and
sayings you'll be ok  
tis better to know what's in front behind and all around for it's not to the crowd in which to be proud
