This has been entered into the Free To Be Me competition... and won!

As I was walking down the street wearing white skinny jeans,
I received a nasty look from a scary bunch of teens.
But it might have been the cardigan that made them stop and stare,
Or maybe it’s the bright blue top or yellow shoes I wear.

Either way I carried on, looking straight ahead,
With earphones pumping Lady Gaga right into my head.
As I walked on, I started to sing the words aloud,
Something which made many people’s heads turn right around.

I carried on along the street, the kids started to glance
Over at my yellow shoes, as they began to dance.
A Quickstep song’s hard to resist, so why keep it inside?
Or Tango, Cha-cha, Foxtrot too. I really love to Jive!

I finally approached my house and opened up the door,
I strolled into the kitchen floor and as I did I saw
My brother at the breakfast bar, his face so very grim.
He said “When are you gonna give that mop of hair a trim?”

“I like my hair the way it is” came back his question’s answer.
“I also like to sing out loud, I’d love to be a dancer.
I love the clothes that I put on; they make me feel free
To be anything at all, but mostly to be me!”
