not to please you

I cut my hair short not to hear you say
“Why’d you cut it? It was way better before.”

I cut my hair short not because
I wanted to be a man, nor be deemed ‘manly’

I cut my hair short because I love it and I own it
and I don’t give a **** about what you say because

I am absolutely proud of it
I swear, if I get enother comment about my hair I’m gonna explode. Why do people care so much about how we look? I’m not harming anybody looking this way, and others too. We can look whatever the **** we want to, without fearing anyone’s judgment.

We’re always too short, too tall, too fat, too thin, too girly, too manly, too try hard, too ugly, too dark, too fair, too brash-looking, or too boring for this society. We can never please this society, so might as well be proud of how carry ourselves everyday.

This is the only body we have. Love it.
