I really got into slightly loose, somewhat flowy tank tops over the summer. I used to have more form-fitting ones that work well under a jacket, but now I’ve branched out. My favorite ones have a scoop neck and straps about an inch and a half wide. They can range from tight and form-fitting to loose and flowy and I like them either way! I’ve recently found the form-fitting ones are excellent underneath a sweater. The looser ones are perfect for a balmy summer day, when I don’t want to feel constricted. They’re very casual generally, but you can totally dress them up too. When I was at the Santa Monica Pier, I totally wanted to get this amusing mustache one, among many others, but the price point was higher than I was happy with. I’m still on the lookout for more tanks with a bit of personality! Is it just me or do their designs seem to be more fun? I find the look and feel of tank tops to be great!
You. & I.
You.
You who hold me down.
You who hold me back.
You who keep me caged.
You.
How do you capture a whisper?
How do you keep still a moment?
All I ever wanted to be was
Whatever I wanted to be.
But…
You.
You try to hold me down.
You try to hold me back.
You try to keep me caged.
I live within your rules
And it is breaking me apart
But I dare not escape
I dare not defy you
For you rule the world
You rule my world.
I.
I am drowning.
I am flailing.
I am suffocating.
I dream of a whisper.
I yearn for a moment.
All you let me be was
Whatever you wanted me to be.
But…
I.
I will not drown.
I will not flail.
I will not suffocate.
Any longer
You imposed your rules
And they nearly broke me
But I fight to escape
I struggle to defy you
I…
I struggle to rule my world.
