appearances (a rant)

i try not to judge others
by the way they dress or look
i know i am no beauty
i'm not considered "perfect"
being as short as i am
being as fat as i am
and being disabled, too
i'm not the ideal woman
can't afford the best in life
but i try to take pride in
how i look
how i smell
you wonder 'bout some people
they push the ultimate in
the way they've chosen to dress--
can't STAND to see a woman
'specially big breasted ones
runnin' around with NO bra
floppin' all over the place
wearin' a white t-shirt--no
i am not jealous not me!
i don't want the pain involved
get the pic??
not pretty--
another thing that bugs me
seeing a guy bent over
and there hangin' out for all
to see is the crack of his
butt right in your face right there
HELLO i don't want to see
that (is that when you say "NO"
to crack??) or his shirt doesn't
cover his belly there it
is just a-hangin' out--guys--
that's gross--not
attractive--
or you see these kids now'days
wearing pants and shirts that are
like five sizes too big they
would fit me TWICE i
wanna go up behind them
grab 'em by their saggy pants
and just YANK 'em up "pull...up...
your...PANTS!!" what's the statement they
are trying to say?? don't get it--
not at all--
i'm confused--
i'm used to people judging
me on the way i look. that's
okay at least i know my
clothes are clean they fit well and
I'M clean i'm not exposin'
myself to the world wearin'
whatever i want i can
hold my head high knowin' i'm
the best ME that i know how
to BE! i like ME for ME!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

if i offend someone, i'm sorry...this
is just how i feel.

I feel like you're saying: "If you ain't got it, don't flaunt it." (Or, if you have TOO much of it, keep it to yourself!) Made me chuckle. Thanks!

Yes rant away, I for one enjoyed every word of it. Mind you, when I was a teenager I had some scarey fashion moments, when I look back now. I got sent home from school cos my skirt was too short. But I do know what you mean, some people just dont want to take pride in themselves.

That's right hon!
Get it off your chest?
No! not your garment!
Some don't even wash their bodies?
much less their clothes. So they should
wear air tite tin cans?
