She was a mess
(and worse)
she knew it
a mismash
of mismatch
Moschino Prada
Kenzo Gucci Max Mara
but all the money
couldn't buy her
style!
All her clothes screaming they
'didn't suit her! '
Even though they drapped
the shape of her
body
she couldn't wear them
well.
Her clothes
ignored her
they all just sat there
on her
going nowhere.
Yet her kid sister
could wear anything
any cheap shit
and she looked fablously chic
a million dollars
even though it came from Oxfam
for a fiver!
Her sister
her twin
sister
younger by a minute
even looked better
than her
in her birthday suit.
And oh how
she loved
to hate her
...hate her!

I know a set of twins just this way! One is lovely in WHATEVER she wears, and the other looks like a cast off misfit in the very same outfit! Wonder why that is? Do some of us arrive here, not fitting into our own skin? Were we sent to the wrong body? Great writing!
