What University does to Poetry

Beautiful

I kind of feel beautiful.

Maybe I shouldn't say it.

But maybe it's okay. 

I've got this brunette hair that's not quite beach wavy.

It's just soft but also shines a little

Its drapingly long, like a crown

I can be quite gentle

I can be.

And then,

When I quiet down a little,

I feel so safe.

Maybe I won't feel this way tomorrow but at least I know it's perhaps true
