Wardrobe Malfunction

When did red stop being my favorite color?

When did I fall into the trap of middle age?

Black is slimming
More appropriate

Hiding from the light
Blending in
Falling into the shadows
Safe from judging eyes

Dark closets full of dark fabrics
Sensible shoes, professional suits and matching bags

Following the rules

When did I start following rules?

I need to find hue I really am again.
