Self confidence diminished
By one word
Inappropriate
I guess it's shameful to wear a top
That makes you happy
That fills your heart with love
For yourself
To like the way you look
When you find something tiny you can do
To feel okay
A bit of shining sparkle
Like the ocean at dawn
When a hand reaches
To pull a shirt down
The cold hand sending a shock through your body
The shock says
I'm in charge
Disgraceful is what a girl will hear
When they look in the mirror
A hoodie goes up
The skirt goes down
The necklace off
The headphones on
To block out the noise
Of the people who call us inappropriate
Of the people who put their hands on our body
Of the people who say that we expose ourselves
To scare us of others
In reality they make us afraid
Of ourselves
Of our bodies
A message to all
Who did such a thing
You need to stop
It's not okay
To call a kid
To their face
Inappropriate.

An appropriate message in response to an inappropriate one! I too am absolutely flabbergasted by those who feel it a welcome action to negatively comment on another's fashion sense or touch another's body like you've described. Yikes!
Thank you!
