You are your best judge

“you look so nice! ” they were saying, 
i felt they were not seeing, 
“it showed like i was expecting! ”
with stupid, confused thoughts, 
i wore the dress, only sickness it brought, 
“may be i don't see what they could”
“may be i don't realize... i look like they could”
with my head flying high and nose in the air, 
i walked like i didn't care, 
my pointed heels gave them scare.

oops it's me! , 
and like them i could be, 
standing tall without a clue, 
gonna fall, wearing the color blue, 
happily i danced, tipsy as they tranced, 
call the DJ and give me a chance......

My straight hair falling on my face, 
with utmost contempt i took part in the race, 
i am going to be joining the club, 
“never was i fat” my habits i curb.

Reality came back with a blow, 
saw my pictures, j
like a big bag of snow, 
“did i eat too much? ” 
“do i think too much? ”
“did i not listen when was teased! ”
“did i not exercise and calories released? ”
why did i not wear? , 
a dress to avoid the glare? , 
can i not go back and stop the stare? 
Finally it dawned on an intelligent mind, 
my eating habits i must rebind, 
can not hold a grudge, 
because “you are your best judge”.
