Experiences of a Nonbinary poet: Baggy Clothes


I miss wearing skirts and leggings And other comfy things That make me so uncomfortable now That I can't bear it. Today I tried wearing An extra layer or two They didn't help much And made me much more sweaty. My sweatshirts and hoodies Are havens of extra cloth That hide my curves from my thoughts. My chest is ample And I'm sure there's many Who'd wish to have a bossom like mine. They can have it; I certainly can't stand it. Baggy clothes cover my body And help me feel less shoddy But how long will it take For my cacoon to break So I can be confident again?
