I have this friend-
His name is the dress code,
And he tells me that he'll keep me safe,
But I know, that I should just listen to him,
When he tells me to just cover up my skin,
Sometimes he can be quite controlling,
He tells me to lengthen my skirt,
And stop putting so much
Makeup on my face;
No one likes a girl who looks so fake.
God forbid I show my stomach,
Cover your shoulders when you're in public,
These boys, they need an education,
And you're nothing more than a distraction.
Sometimes he thinks my body is his,
So I swallow my opinions
My bathroom scale turns into an exam,
Suddenly my grade is all that I am.
But if I avoid him, I just get bruises,
And my confidence gets cut up into pieces,
He says he has reasons, but I won't ask what,
As long as I don't look like a
Slut
Dress code and I have been friends for a while,
So, when I see him,
I flash a big smile,
But, inside, my stomach is burning,
And all the red flags in my head have started screaming
