Active Aggressive Demo - Skirt

I'm not weak - I'm not submissive

I will not dress to please
I will not get down on my knees
every day I'm faced with your expectations
tell me how I'm supposed to act
tell me when I'm allowed to react
I'm breaking free and not looking back
I'm fed up with these gender roles
the foundation, the root, of social control
wear their uniform, consume their lies
they say you're pretty but you're nothing in their eyes

you dress for those eyes that make you hate yourself
your image is slaughtered - slandered - and abused by others
but yet you still dress to impress them
you let them reduce you to an image
it's used to bind you with your conceit
but that image means nothing
beauty is not determined by what you wear
you are so much more than a pretty face
you are so much more than a gender role
your talents lie hidden behind a facade
refuse to let your image define you
use your intelligence and talents
your image means nothing
fight for your self worth
