Red dress

 

Instead of makeup
I am wearing pain.
Maybe I am born with it
just because I am a woman.
Although pain makes me bare naked
I won’t wear Chanel 5 to cover it.
This is not haute couture
the pain is an ordinary dress.
Too tight, because you wear it
from my teenage years.
Until now. You want to overgrow it.
But the pain is bigger than you,
despite the tightness.
That fashion never changes,
Although you don’t want to follow it.
Anymore.
