Another
School year
Is starting up
And I find myself
Looking backwards.
Wondering
What if I had gone
To my senior prom.
As
Whom I am
A girl
Dressed in
A formal dress.
While
Alphaville's
"Forever young"
Is played
At the last dance.
Alas
This isn't
The reality
Of what happen.
Instead
I stayed home
Conflicted
Between perception
And reality.
Of
Having to wear
To a suit
If I wished
To attend.
Might
As well been
Wearing a straitjacket
Is how I feel
About having to
Wear a suit.
Sigh.

Author's note: I can relate, to Ms. Wolf, and her wearing a suit, to her prom, which the school strongly objected to, by threatening, to call, the police on her. For more information, please click on the following link: https://ca.style.yahoo.com/

Now this makes me think of something that never would have occurred to me. How sad, to miss one's prom. I can well imagine a suit would have felt like a strait jacket.
