Modesty


    A declaration of modesty--
    The restrictive cry of shrouded beauty
    While the other half flaunts bold brawn
    Subtle, but causing us to fawn...
    And yet we define a controlled look
    Try to avoid lingering eyes
    Treat ourselves like bait on a hook
    Awaiting someone else's untimely demise.
    Who are we to define such laws
    When styles change just because?
    Why should I worry and acquire stress
    About the shoes I wear, or the way I dress?
    If he can make me weak at the knees
    In a pressed shirt under a suit and tie,
    What hope is there for my closest's ease?
    Anything I wear will distract his eye.
