Someone


Someone once told me my legs were to big to wear short dress 

So I wanted to buy longer ones 

Someone once told me that long dresses made me look like a grandma 

So I wanted to buy skirts 

Someone once told me skirts were to short for my long legs 

So I wanted to buy shorts 

Someone once told me that shorts only looked appropriate on thin legs 

So I wanted to buy pants 

Someone once told me that it doesn’t matter what I wear 

That was the only advice I took
