Being judged

As I walk down the street
people look at me, so less
discreet. Why are people so
judgmental?
Everyone always tells me
to be myself because I am
me& no one else is.
But as time passes me by
I come to see people looking at
me strangely. Why are people
so rude? Maybe you don't
like what I'm wearing but it's
not affecting you in any way.
I might not like what you're
wearing but I am mature & I
will respect you & will not
judge you. You are you.
The way you dress is you
way of representing your self
& showing who you are.
BE yourself, but inside
society's standards. You
can't wear this. You can't wear
that thought. Why do you
always wear black? You look so ugly.
WELL I WEAR BLACK BECAUSE I LIKE BLACK.
& who do you think you are
that makes it okay for you
to tell me that I look ugly in what I'm
wearing. If I wear what I want, I get judged.
If i don't wear what I want, I get judged  
because I'm not being me. Because I'm being fake.
If I have gauges, I get judged.
If I have tattoos, I get fucking judged.
& that's not all.
If i don't do some sophisticated job like
being an engineer, a doctor, a lawyer, I will
be judged because what I want to do with MY life
isn't good enough for you.
I seem to never done anything right,
but the truth is that... I'm not doing anything wrong..
~I go to school.
~I work.
~I get good grades.
~I get so stressed out but I keep going
everyday like if I'm okay.
~I plan on going to college.
~I am trying so hard to be happy.

But you don't like where I work.
But you think my a &b's aren't good enough grades.
But you think working and going to school full time
is not fucking stressful at all.
But you don't like what I'm going to college for.
But I can be happy.
It bothers me so much that there
is people out in the world that judge
you 24/7.
But I will be happy even if you're
always fucking rude,& judgmental
because even if society
doesn't like who I am...
You can't break me.
