You Dress You

The society has dictated us enough. What a man should wear and what a woman can How to dress and how one can’t “That is not how girls dress!” Is the society’s favourite stand. “Boys don’t wear nail paint!” Well tell that to Harry Styles The world is finally changing for the better But we still have to cover miles. Not all fashionable men are gay And not every girl who wears a button-down have to be a lesbian And even if they are, it is not the society’s place to express dismay. I don’t know if you are aware But this is a new wave of change You can no longer put us into boxes and tell us what to wear Androgynous clothing has taken the world by storm And the youth has been liberated Defied all your norms. Your brother can flaunt a skirt And your sister can daunt a power suit and a checkered shirt The gender-based clothing was a social construct We have finally changed the rules And the society no longer has authority to instruct.
