I have decided to give up
Caring what other people think
I told my boyfriend
I decided to stop wearing a bra
I felt his body tense
So I asked him what he feels
He said
People will notice
That’s all he said but
I know he means
People will judge
People will criticize
People will have opinions
As people do
That’s sadly true
But
What do I care
What other people think
About me
Or what I do?
Why should other people be concerned
About me wearing a bra or not?
Why should anyone have an opinion on it at all?
The same goes for what I wear
How I do my hair
Whether or not I shave my body hair
Or wear deodorant
Anywhere
Who cares?
It doesn’t affect anyone
On this planet
Except me
As long as I am happy
Being me
That’s all that matters
See?
