Shawn
He stared at me.
"Ready for another day?"
I placed my clammy hands against the mirror.
"Maybe... Just maybe..."
I preferred when he was with me.
My dress flowed,
my nails sparkled,
my bun wasn't a strand out of place.
He looked so comfortable with
his messy hair,
his stained up sweats,
his normal colored nails.
"Why can't you come with me?"
I sat and waited...
He doesn't speak, but I get the clue.
They can't accept him.
I have to be this Barbie Doll until I get home
because being him
is too much for the world to handle..
