My outfit seems sub-par today.
Time for drastic measures.
I adorn my bright red lipstick.
I immediately stand out.
People stare & whisper.
I just walk on by,
Not needing approval,
Knowing I look good.
My red lipstick doesn’t only give me a pop of color,
It gives me confidence.

I love my bright red lipstick & I wear it all the time! But some people think it's weird. But I don't care.
