I know its stupid to say 

That a piece of clothing 

Could make me feel 

So happy 

But this is the case

For my powerful plaid 

It makes me myself 

Not somebody else 

In a crop top 

Or mini skirt 

But me 

The one thing I can control

Is the way I dress

And when I wear this plaid 

It makes me feel invincible 

Like I could win the lottery 

Or drive a motorcycle 

Or have decent cousins 

Or sing well

And I know 

“It's just a piece of clothing” 

They say 

“Stop wearing the plaid”

They say

Well

I could care less what they think 

Because in my mind 

This is the closest thing I can get to being me

And if you criticize the way I dress 

It's not your problem 

I don't care what you think

Just leave me alone 

This powerful plaid 

For me 

Is worth more than gold 

Worth more than family 

Worth more than a mansion 

I know that's extreme 

But for me 

It's the truest thing I’ve ever said 

It's not A fashion statement 

It's MY fashion statement 

I can be my perfect self 

With it on

And that's good enough for me
