just bored one day i picked up my eyeliner
and two minutes later
i had a mild johnny depp mustache
and a light shade on my chin
i walked into a hot topic
where nobody knew me
expecting a few laughs
but instead
men looked me over
women blushed and looked away
one girl winked
i walked to the back of the store
picked a fedora and pair of 1/2" plugs
and took them to the cashier
the man greeted me with
Afternoon sir, find everything ok?
i replied with a slight grin
Just a couple presents for the missus, i said
three girls left the store fluttering
i paid the $13.43
and left

PoetWhoDothNotKnowIt

This was beautiful. What first seemed to be funny, brought a sense of satisfaction on the inside, as I realized it was a message of strength to all people in confiding in themselves of who they truly are.

 

Humbly,
