It used to be

Gel princess shoes

Pigtails

Plaits

And pj dresses.

It is now

Gel for slick backs

Plaits

And if you wear a dress you’re different.

It used to be

Giggles

Princesses

The color pink

And cupcakes.

It is now

Silence due to cellphones

Celebrities

Any other color because pink is pick me.

And now you can’t eat a ton or your judged.

Why can’t we go back to the way things used to be

But then again I can’t say that

Because

I used to

Wear makeup only on mondays

Wear the clothes I wanted to

Be who I was, energized.

Now I

Wear makeup almost daily

I wear jeans and fitted shirts

And I act calm when I want to be me.
