I will be me


Skin covered, neck to ankles Boys will be boys, they say But why can't I be myself? I wear crop tops I wear skirts. Does that make me a slut? No Does that make me, me? Yes I wear sweatpants I don't always wear makeup Does that make me ugly? No Does that make me, me? Yes Why can't I be me? Why shouldn't I be me? Because society says so Screw society I will be me You will be you
