Skirt Or Trouser

A skirt can sway like summer breeze
Its fabric, soft as petals from trees
A dancer's dream, a poet's muse
A canvas of colors, a vision to choose

The way it hugs the hips, so light
A symbol of grace, a picture of might
It twirls and spins, a whirlwind of art
A garment of beauty, a work of heart

But a trouser is a different story
A symbol of strength, a sign of glory
It wraps around the legs, so firm
A garment of power, a fabric of firm

It's a garment of practicality
A choice of the bold, a sign of reality
It's a shield of protection, a guard of might
A garment of strength, a fabric of fight

A skirt can be a symbol of femininity
A garment of elegance, a sign of divinity
It flows and drapes, a work of art
A symbol of love, a fabric of heart

But a trouser is a symbol of masculinity
A garment of power, a sign of ferocity
It covers and protects, a shield of steel
A symbol of courage, a fabric of zeal

Both garments are a metaphor of life
A choice to make, a path to strive
To wear a skirt is to embrace grace
To wear a trouser is to find your place

So choose your garment with care
For it reflects the person you are
A skirt or trouser, the choice is yours
A symbol of your journey, a fabric of your choice
