Be The Worst You Can Be
by Karlee Patton
If beautiful is all they can see,
be the worst you can be.
“Cross your legs, cross your t’s, and dot your i’s.”
Who cares if I shaved, if I zippered my fly?
“Sit like a lady, brush your hair,
be soft, be caring, be gentle, be fair.”
I say, be bold, be brash.
Dance on the table, dress like you’re “trash.”
“Get your shit together, get your life on track.”
Chew with your mouth open,
don’t forget to talk back.
Make sure to
be the worst you can be,
if beautiful is all they can see.
