Challenge
How much are you controlled by forces beyond your influence?
Anything goes.
im p a ct
close your legs
close your legs
close your legs
your voice echoes in my head
and i did
all i've learned is to keep them off me
to cover up
to be ashamed.
you told me to
look likable
my clothes were too boyish, too baggy
my grey eyes always kind of sad
i got used to hiding, curving my spine
i wouldn't try to look pink or bright, smiley or pretty,
it was too late
my confidence was washed away
well nobody taught me
to embrace my body
to ever speak up
"girls should be seen, not heard",
is what you said and it's
echoing in my head
sending down shivers
making me sweat
thights tight together,
words stuck forever
in the back of my head.
the impact you have.
