Dear Shorts...

Dear shorts,

I'm confused.

I want to love you, but I don't.

Who is allowed to wear you?

How long should you be?

Am I too old to be seen in you?

I'm angry.

I feel excluded, left out.

Why do I never see you

on a body like mine?

Am I unworthy of being seen in you?

I'm scared.

I need answers so I can feel safe.

What if I'm out having fun

and you offend someone?

Are my legs just too terrible to wear you?

I'm worried...

that people will disapprove.
