Be a Better Girl

by alex-m

Be more of a girl, what does that mean? If I feel pretty in my oversized clothes what must I change? In order to fit into this world must I also fix your simplistic aesthetic? I am not good enough to please you and cause you to question my sexuality When in fact there is nothing for you to approve No check list for you to look at making me the "proper lady" That is not your choice to make, but mine And if you can't accept that then I don't need you Your negativity is unwanted in this already pessimistic world There is only one of me and I will not be controlled by your "ideals" Instead I shape my own because if I don't feel comfortable in my own skin while fitting into your cookie cutter image Then what is the point in living at all?
