Hello my fellow fashion lovers and dreamers. Another night (or morning for that matter) that I am up again, wide awake wishing that I could fall asleep.
I have been up working on some things, and ran across a photo of two girls that I met in New York this summer. I can’t remember their names, they are somewhere floating around in one of my many Blackberry notes, but I do remember why it is that they caught my attention- their boundless sense of confidence. Once again, they arrested my attention tonight, and inspired a short poem.
These two ladies defy the mainstream pulls society’s determination of “cool.” They take fashion, and create their own trends, despite what’s walking down the latest runways. And they do this all, with a powerful sense of confidence.
You can’t help but to be drawn to them.
New York, New York
what do you know about what it means to be an individual?
i find purpose in the unconventional,
find comfort in the off-beat.
i can find my rhythm
in an out of tune
jazz number
ooooh ba ba
i find ease.
on that, unbeaten path
i’ll do a little
dance- number
cus’ different
is no trouble for me
it gives me satisfaction.
i’m eccentric-
and quirky
Oh you think I’m
freakishly dorky?
maybe
but
these irregularities
soothe me-
move me
to be an individual
you just don’t know how good it feels
to be free
what do you know about what it means to be an individual?
until you know, don’t judge me
