At least I'll be ready for my midlife crisis

Seeing as how all my days are crisis

188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBv8ONeF5NU

Grow out my hair,

Chop off the hair.

188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4U2rgXYJI

Keep the natural color,

Dye and redye it all colors.

188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBpMokQFXh

Get my nails done,

Keep them short and natural.

188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWPBGyTcdQ

Wear femme clothes,

Do my make up all nice for hours.

188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLlEkUSjBA

Wear masc clothing,

Wear a bare face proudly.

188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlGZC3VcxP

Who am I?

How should I present?

188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPYwpGYori

Why does my skin not feel like

My own skin anymore?

188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGSdG0lOQr

Maybe it's me,

Maybe it’s societal pressure.

188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICC6SApWTQ

Maybe it's real confidence,

Maybe it's jealousy of others' confidence.

188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1uHur00AB

I'd rather get stared at for scars,

Then stared at for having tits.

188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4VHTIw0z6

I'd rather get stared at for looking different,

Then to be ogled like a piece of meat.

188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdTdtAlX8L

Maybe it's me.

Maybe it's the trauma.

188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxq640warfC

Maybe I care,

But maybe I really don't.

188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOu2wxHHiB
