I dress to dress
I dress for me
not to impress
If I see something I like
I wear with pride
even if the outfits is not in
it is more likely to be out
but I don't care
this is me that is the new in
being me is the new fashion
But what if
I dressed differently
what would you say?
If I dressed in all black. I am Goth
If I dressed in rags. I am a tramp
If I dressed in tight clothes. I am a slag
If I am dressed sporty clothes. I am a chav
If I am dressed brightly. I am gay
Let these thoughts get to you
let my words echo in your ears
I am not a television in the background waiting to be noticed
I am a human being wanting to be respected in the open crowd
Hardly anyone says these comments to your face
but behind the screen
that is where all of the action stands out,
Come on people
live long and proud
being black sheep's
not listening to the peanuts
but listen to your inner voice shouting
' this is better, you are you again'
Please don't let the comments
turn you into dust
since that is how they want you to be
a broken doll
Author notes
I find that when I dress someone has to make a rude comment just because you do not stick to fashion style. When I was younger my mom used to teach me you are either a black or a white sheep.
A white sheep always follow the crowd and a black sheep always sticks to their own ways.
People get judge so quickly like people call me gay as an insult in order to get their own way. I is like the phrase you dress how you look
The poem was hard to write so no hard comments, since I know what I am talking about but it is hard to describe.

a good poem, ah fasion, it grabs us all in some way or another whether we like to admit it or not, we want to look okay but not as everyone else in the world around us, be individual, but as soon as you are people poke you

This is a very nice write. I know exactly how you feel. Lables are just ways to put people down. I get them all the time. But I'm glad you can see your way around them and just be you. Nice job and thank you for entering! -
Ok I totaly know how you feel. I've been there. You really have to understand what you're trying to convey if you want to get the meaning of this poem. A lovely poem.
