The Message of a T-shirt

I express
by color and design
by feelings and creativity
I am a t-shirt
I may be that one shirt you go to for comfort
for laughs
for the feeling of belonging.
I am practical in most situations,
although once in a while, I feel out of place.
T-shirts are special,
they are common and simple but they can say a lot
I am a t-shirt

Journal #27: Brainstorming Metaphor Poem

Mulan (the only asian Disney Princess, haha): Mulan's characteristics pretty much line up with mine. She is a brave, self-relient, and independent individual. She is an outspoken teenager that is a bit clumsy at times too. Mulan works hard, and is true to her heart (yeah, I know there's a song in the movie with this :D )
[and as a bonus, she's chinese... Yay! :D ]

T-Shirt: I think this would be an easier metaphor to film, although it took me a while to brainstorm how I am a t-shirt. T-shirts can be fun and creative, funny, or made to make a specific statement. They can show people that the person wearing it belongs to a group (and this relates to me by how I talk to people and make them feel welcome), for sports or a club. They are very common, yet they are practical and vary in many different ways to make each unique.
