how to leave your house as a teenage girl

Start with brushing your hair,
doing cosmetics,
and brushing teeth.
Then, find a white long sleeve high neck shirt.
Second, a dress;
Light cream-white silk.
Pastel flower stitching
on white calf-high ruffle socks.
Black beat converse shoes
tied loose enough to slip on and off.
Scuff marks,
worn off logos,
and frayed laces
indicate a need for a fresh new pair
of the same old style.
But they’ve reached the achievement of “comfort pair”
so you don’t mind saving for a little longer.
Grab the tote bag in the corner of the room
and bust open the door
like it’s the first time you’ve seen the light of day in 2 months.
Cause well...
it is.

this just represents what I think i would say to someone who is coming out of a bad mental state or quarantine and needs to learn the ways of life again. it has deep background meaning while masking as an easy piece. But those things are often forgotten by those who have trouble keeping themselves in health.
