A Change for Me
I put on that little green dress for him
I slip on the six inch stilettos for her
I keep my hair long because they tell me to
I wear a push-up because that's the only way he'll accept me
I stick a finger down my throat because they say that if you're not thin, you aren't beautiful
I wear a smile for everyone else, not because I am happy with my mistaken identity
No more will I let others dictate my life
I put on jeans and a t shirt for me
I slip on a tattered old pair of chucks for me
I cut my hair because it's what I want to do
I wear no padding because I accept my breasts as they are
I eat what I want because life is more enjoyable with a taste of chocolate
I wear a smile because I have finally escaped the chains of what everyone thinks I should be and have decided to love myself the way I am
I am perfectly imperfect, and I wouldn't have it any other way
