Is she cozy, or is she hiding?

Let her out

Let her out of the nice clothes you put her in, let he be alive, and let her feel.

Don’t forget to let her mind run wild and her feelings run rapid.

Her soul is made of more than what you see when you look at her, don’t forget that.

Why do they always forget that?

Have you ever met a girl who dressed how she felt?

That was her.

You would never see rainbows and colors if that’s not how she was feeling.

If she was sad it was big baggy sweaters for two reasons:

1. They're cozy, and 2. They hide you.

They hide you because the world is dark, and it damages pretty things.

She was a pretty thing.

Have you ever met someone who has a beautiful soul and you’ve seen darkness has taken its toll?

In case you haven’t noticed in this world the toll isn’t free, it always costs you something.

The question you should ask yourself.

Is the girl you love wearing sweaters because she’s cozy or she’s hiding the damage the world’s done?

Are you hiding or are you protecting?

Where is the line and how do you know?

I bet you haven’t heard often that wearing big baggy clothes is a sign of self-hate. Well often times it is. It is and you don’t hear that enough.

Hiding your body that’s been so beautifully created. Formed. Melded. Broken and battered.

So.

Is she cozy, or is she hiding?
