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.

Thank you for your honesty and for putting into words how baggy clothes cover more than skin. If I may make a suggestion, I would like to see S2.L3 tightened and teenagers made more personal. Thank you for exposing what's underneath. I find your words beautiful. Well done.
