A Burnt Orange shirt
With Black Versace jeans
Curled my hair
With so much love and care
Danced for all tunes
As if nobody cares
Won the title
“The King of the Batch”
Only to be laughed at
Only to be bullied
Only to be told I’m not man enough
Only to be told It’s the shirt and not you
Didn’t you think I have a heart?
Why were you so mean to me?
Isn’t it ironic,
Later when you ask,
Why can’t you see your beauty?
– Nim –
