Four Inches Tall
My breasts are large
The buttons and fabric of my shirt strain against them
I am clearly seeking attention
My thighs are wide
The hemline of my dress ends just above my knees
I must want to be ogled at My legs are short
The heels I’m wearing are four inches tall
I definitely need a catcall
My ass is round
The yoga pants I wear make it look bigger
I am wishing for a stranger to slap it
My clothes apparently do the talking for me
“Hello! Look at me!” They say to the man across the street
The man driving past me
The man in the checkout line at Walmart when I’m buying tampons
My clothes must be talking to them
Otherwise, why would I get a response from these men?
“Hey, baby!”
“Lookin’ good!”
“Damn!”
My clothes say I’m every man’s fantasy
Even when I beg not to be
My clothes say I’m asking for it
So loudly, I suppose, that is why my voice cannot be heard above them
Even when I am screaming “NO!”
My clothes say nothing
My breasts are large
The buttons and fabrics of my shirt strain against them
I have trouble finding shirts to fit me
My thighs are wide
The hemline of my dress ends just above my knees
I finally feel confident to wear a dress
My legs are short
The heels I’m wearing are four inches tall
I am tired of people looking down on me
My ass is round
The yoga pants I wear make it look bigger
I just want to be comfortable
My clothes?
They speak for me?
