I went for clothes
that were like the one's Aoi gave me.
Long skirts
long sleeved dresses
wolly tights
carefully picking
things that covered
my skin, my heart
Father's voice echoed constantly
"that's too showy."
"who're you trying to impress?"
"just wear what you need,
none of that sparkly junk."
I frown as my fingers caress
the soft fabric of a pair or pyjamas
the cotton feels cool and comfortable
but I leave it in favor
of something cheaper.
"Why don't you get that one?
Don't you like it?"
Mother picks out my size.
And I freeze, ashamed that she
caught me looking.
"It's too expensive.
I-I'm okay with this one."
"It's not too much for me,
I'll get it for you okay?"
I hesitate,
then,
with a sharp inhale
I push away Father's voice.
Go away, you can't control me.
I say.
"okay."
