In a Garden of Dresses, I Am the Thorn

Do you
Think 
They noticed me? 

I mean 
I noticed 
Them 

Perfectly 
Perfect 

The epitome 
Of beauty 
Without lifting a finger 

Their skin 
As clear 
As my delusions 

Why did I 
Pick
This dress? 

How did I
Walk out of the house 
With the smile of “I look pretty”? 

They must think 
This bow in my hair 
Looks idiotic 

Plus the 
Holding my sweater
In front of me 

To hide 
My not 
Spindly frame 

Do you 
Think 
They noticed me? 

I mean 
How could I 
Not notice them? 

Their plates
Were never 
Full 

So I
Overflowed a napkin 
And made sure to throw it away 

Or cleaned up 
My lipstick in the bathroom a few times 
If I did cave in

If I left now
Do you think 
They’ll notice me? 

Like
Leave 
And not say anything?

They definitely wouldn’t 
Notice me 
Then
