I tore my skirt tonight

I tore my skirt tonight.
Trying to escape the feeling of
everything Europeans want Americans to be
everything Americans in Europe want Americans to be
everything society wants me to be
everything I want to be.
I tore my skirt tonight
Trying to escape the feeling of
everything I think I should be
everything our budget says I should be
when all I want to be is me.
In my most honest, intellectual me.
The most absorbing, accepting me.
The me I want to be.
I tore my skirt tonight.
And it was not all that was torn.
