Bite Me

Be sure, I'm aware of your critical eye, why should I care?
I don't have to look like you do, because you can't compare.
There is such a thing as individual expression, so don't stare.
Even if it "ruffles your feathers", I don't really care!

Maybe you should loosen up, borrow some of my flair.
Everyone will just have to get used to it, so BITE ME, there!

Sorry, Skat. this comment went to the wrong place. I meant it for John Lawless, and maybe yours posted while I was sending ?!

Great, John! It's funny all the different phases of life that we go through. When we're young, we are concerned about what others think of us...then we kind of loosen up as we get older, and hopefully a little more secure of ourselves...!

Laura, I have been reciting a somewhat similar mantra to my children and grand children as they entered the "valley of the fashion-centric". Just being' who you are and doing' what you do seems to be working. Thanks for entering the contest.

This really isn't my usual attitude, Skat. But it was fun to let loose a little with this theme! Thanks for your encouraging words :)
