Do not wear jeans that you hate
Do not be fooled into conforming to fashion’s dictate
Resist the urge to dress in ways
That don’t allow your true self to be itself
Dress solely for comfort pleasure and joy
Not least because a soul in torment
Apparelled in garb that discomfits
Is one that is more attention seeking
Than a being in quiet enjoyment of the textures
Next to their skin.
Avoid the overtight waistband
And the shoes that rub
Don’t suffer for the proof
Of adherence to some other persons decree
Who has no hips, no waist no breasts
No humanity
And whilst they live by fashions grisly sword
Will never be free just to be
