Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder
September 22, 2012
Half a dress
Beautiful, Conservative
Stereotype-free
Half a dress.
That’s what he called it.
What does he know?
In the changing room,
Next to a girl trying on dresses too.
And her mom helping her chose.
Just like my mom and me.
The only difference.
The girl felt fat in the plus size dresses.
When I was feeling confident in medium.
The girl
Lashing out at her mom.
While I was bonding with mine.
When I came home,
My love of a dress
Was called half a dress.
It’s beautiful…
And so is the girl
To me.
