My Clothes

I tried wearing traditional
And my family got emotional..
"The girl grew up finally" they said,
But for me, it was not functional.

I was back to t-shirt and shorts
But couldn't walk on the streets for long..
Cause the stares peeked through my soul,
I felt naked, if not anything more..

I tried wearing formal one day,
Shirt and trousers, suited me? Yeah!
But the people couldn't care less yet
"Your 'body parts' are showing,you fat!"

Maybe not for me, I guessed.
So I switched to comfort instead..
I wore pyjamas and tops next day,
Do I look good? Yeah!

" She looks like an aunty" I heard,
Sighing in my bed, I curled..
I tried to catch
That 'made for me' match.

But then I thought
About my thoughts being fraud..
Why the hell did I care
Of what the people thought?

Next day, I chose from my wardrobe,
My favourite cloth
And without once concerning
About people'S thoughts...
