All Eyes On Me

Everytime I walk in a room I feel like all eyes are on me

Why, well I mean just look at me

I must stand out if I caught your attention

Was it the smile? how i talk? how I walk?

or more likely, how I dress?

They say I dress and act out of the norm

but I think I am perfectly fine

I’ve been told that women are to wear women’s clothing

and men are to wear men’s clothing

That’s how it’s supposed to be, no ifs ands or buts

Many people automatically think I’m gay

from the way that I dress and look

Wow, that’s crazy right

Never have I been the girly type

dresses, barbie dolls, and makeup are not my thing

A girl who acts and dresses like a boy

they label me a tomboy

I hate jeans but I love sweats

My perfect grey North Face hoodie and white beaters are my go to look

They say it’s wrong but it feels so right

I feel the most comfortable when i’m being myself
