Why do you want me 

To wear a dress or a skirt 

Just leave me alone 


The author's comments:

Honest, Raw, Simple. 

That's what this haiku is.

Omg thank you so much @Afra! This is a Haiku I poured my heart into and I am so glad that others can enjoy it and relate to it. It means the world to me to know that people have read this.

Oh man, I'm so sorry. I know, one of my friends wanted to come to my homecoming but couldn't because of Covid. I hope you can next year Lydiaq!

I was invited to a homecoming even though I am a homeschooler, but the next time I asked the inviter about it, she said I'd passed the registration and I couldn't come. So I'll be stuck at home the same as all other years. I actually thought I was going to do something normal.

Your comment has a ton of emotion and clarity SparrowSun, cool. And same, I had a picture day awhile back and I wore a dress, still not sure why I did that, guess I was naive.
