What to Wear?
You say
It's not my fault
For being human
But still
You put me in a box
You tell me I cannot
Wear my favorite clothes
Because
Of men
How they
Will do anything
But why should I
Change so they don't have to?
Why should I
Pretend I'm not a woman?
Why is what I wear
Anyone's problem but mine?
Simple answer:
It's not.
But who cares
About justice?
Who cares
About what I want?
Bend the rules for yourself
But hold fast
For me.
Why can't my clothes
Be tight?
"Leaving nothing to the imagination"
Maybe I should just
Wear a potato sack
Then they can imagine
Whatever they want.
