At least I'll be ready for my midlife crisis

Seeing as how all my days are crisis

150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhY3fijnHP

Grow out my hair,

Chop off the hair.

150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPY7ZSDxFhz

Keep the natural color,

Dye and redye it all colors.

150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wsQeFj0LH

Get my nails done,

Keep them short and natural.

150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNbvHdebuv

Wear femme clothes,

Do my make up all nice for hours.

150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjLaLkwlNI

Wear masc clothing,

Wear a bare face proudly.

150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUPTjofKZ4

Who am I?

How should I present?

150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsedDppbLea

Why does my skin not feel like

My own skin anymore?

150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xe1ptplVq

Maybe it's me,

Maybe it’s societal pressure.

150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYTsKQUMXT

Maybe it's real confidence,

Maybe it's jealousy of others' confidence.

150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpv6vMTdSO

I'd rather get stared at for scars,

Then stared at for having tits.

150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVyLMUuyFb

I'd rather get stared at for looking different,

Then to be ogled like a piece of meat.

150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcxyDLCCy0

Maybe it's me.

Maybe it's the trauma.

150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgRJ90a987

Maybe I care,

But maybe I really don't.

150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cj3yIsjRS
