I Picked Out A Dress

I picked out a dress

It was cute

With little bows on the straps

I felt good in it

Apparently

It wasn’t appropriate 

Because 

You could tell

I wasn’t flat

And my legs

We’re for all to see

I was told

That I couldn’t wear it

For a school concert 

But it was past my thighs

Wasn’t low cut

Wasn’t too fancy

Wasn’t a bathing suit

You could just tell

I was a women

Now the dress is returned

All wrapped up in box

Hidden away from the world

Because people don't want to

See me

    This year

    Will we parade with joy

    Celebrate tragedies

    But I know of love

    That opens doors

    The love that is
