This is me!


The purple stains my lips A black curls my lashes A stripped scarf drapes my shoulders My voice changes A different accent A slurred drawl appears My hair gets pinned up My nails painted My clothes pinkified I walk differently Stumbling, leaning Falling I am not me anymore I'm Roxy Roxy Lalonde An escape from reality A drunken act That's all it is, an act But, I'm good at it I need this I need the escape The friends that come with it. The love The excitement The act is fun And distracting The people are Kind and Creative But the act is shunned Told it is horrible Pretending to be someone else I'm not pretending though This is a part of me I am Roxy Lalonde I am Gamzee Makara I am Stan Marsh I am Kenny McCormick I am Kanaya Maryam I am Karkat Vantas I am Sollux Captor I am Dave Strider And most of all I am a cosplayer I can be whoever I want And YOU can't stop me!
