At least I'll be ready for my midlife crisis

Seeing as how all my days are crisis

187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVJLgIqMl4

Grow out my hair,

Chop off the hair.

187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDDwdJTMug

Keep the natural color,

Dye and redye it all colors.

187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xdi85Wju4

Get my nails done,

Keep them short and natural.

187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5TzIgMXUe

Wear femme clothes,

Do my make up all nice for hours.

187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7PGldZ6kj

Wear masc clothing,

Wear a bare face proudly.

187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiuvCyeUOW

Who am I?

How should I present?

187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3OyrWmz1n

Why does my skin not feel like

My own skin anymore?

187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDtapna5UE

Maybe it's me,

Maybe it’s societal pressure.

187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGf9Q1ZSuy3

Maybe it's real confidence,

Maybe it's jealousy of others' confidence.

187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDggsSQZ1I

I'd rather get stared at for scars,

Then stared at for having tits.

187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfjkZXuMN6

I'd rather get stared at for looking different,

Then to be ogled like a piece of meat.

187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm60Y3JI0jj

Maybe it's me.

Maybe it's the trauma.

187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMQp1qj6gE

Maybe I care,

But maybe I really don't.

187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOvpetdWgE
