i walk alone

today i felt like a modern age marilyn monroe. with every step i took my skirt was lifted in the air revealing striped underwear. my hands holding down my modesty. i collected cat calls, sly grins and wolf whistles. the good girl looking boys right in the eye. one two and three. holding for seconds that seem to never end. i may never look away, you turn your head slightly and i walk. i gather gazes and pocket them for later when i feel low and down. when i don't feel sexy. lately, it feels like there is me and every other girl. i'm the one that everyone wants. i like that. you like it too. even the windows are jealous.

today, i own the world. everyone has their eyes on me. i'm not nervous.
