There is a Place Somewhere: A Junior Self-Portrait Diptych by Laurel O'Such (2013)

My first photo represents how I stick out in places I don’t belong, and how uncomfortable I am in those situations. The line in my poem, ''You’re the cotton in the silk store'' best represents this side. This line in my poem shows that I’m not the best or at the same caliber as others around me and I do not like it a lot of the time. But it also shows the comfort in the cotton just like the comfort in the jeans. Although they might not be as pretty or what everyone else is doing or wearing, they are the more flexible and pleasant.
