I should dress
However I please
Not dress covered
So attention I don't seize
Mini skirts, tight tank top shirts
But not everyone will stare
The sexist dress codes
Are so out dated and unfair
Personally I dress for me
I don't really care who looks
I catch someone's eye as I'm walking by
That shouldn't be a reason for the books
I want to dress how I feel
Not be strung to expectations
Girls are being caged
Because of someone's stupid frustrations
Others may look but that's not on me
So why am I the one penalized
It seems in a lot of schools
A certain gender's education is over prized
So what if my shorts are short,
And my shirt shows a little stomach
Maybe it's really hot outside,
I didn't ask to be called thick
My education matters too
I want to get through school
But there seems to be a stereotype
That beauty is equal to fool
Maybe I wouldn't be so foolish
If you just left me in class
Maybe then I'd get to learn
And all my classes I would pass
If they can't focus because I'm cute
They're staring so it's they're fault
What are they suppose to do
If beauty walks by when they're an adult
We should celebrate our differences
Our beauty and all our flaws
Instead of hide ourselves away
And for someone else, put our style on pause
We are strong, we are beautiful
And we should be allowed to be our own
We should all live for ourselves
Not just live in your comfort zone
