when someone asks you
do you like my outfit

it is wise to say yes

to anyone not in your

immediate family

and even then

be cautious

Hey congrats on being published. I'm so happy for you! (I'll be sharing poetry with you too this time. Blood Bath made it in.) This is a great poem. You deserve it.

Thank you so much! I actually wrote a bunch of poems under this title, but separated them to publish them. It's like an unspoken rule that you always complement really bad outfits! :D
