Baggy Clothes
Teenagers just love baggy clothes
It covers secrets we don't want people to know
Secrets of our bodies that we despise
That plague our minds each day and night.
When we look in the mirror each time we wake
Our heart is filled with so much hate
Asking questions like 'How come I haven't lost weight' or 'look how thinner I am today'
Damn it why do we always want the body that other people hate?
But baggy clothes provide an escape
A way to hide our forms and curves.
With it, nobody notices the extra added weight
Or what was lost before that day
Baggy clothing provides a rest
For teenagers who hate exposing what they think is not the best
To wrap us around and dispel our loathing
For what can't be hidden in tight clothing.
