Does he even care?

The mirror stares back at me as I curl my hair

The stench of burnt hair consumes the room

Does he even care?

My makeup brushes swifting powder onto my face

Trying to cover up every little insecurity

Does he even care?

No, no, no, how can I have no cute clothes

The no pile towers up, To do: get new clothes

Does he even care?

I walk into school and enter the hallway where we pass

My eyes jolting in every direction trying to spot him

Does he even care?

No

Didn't even glance
