I Guess It's Shameful

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.
