At least I'll be ready for my midlife crisis

Seeing as how all my days are crisis

191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv92EyKB6Da

Grow out my hair,

Chop off the hair.

191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡag6Zape8aE

Keep the natural color,

Dye and redye it all colors.

191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrRdDlWVpq

Get my nails done,

Keep them short and natural.

191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5o68hETWEF

Wear femme clothes,

Do my make up all nice for hours.

191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLJi8TVA2A

Wear masc clothing,

Wear a bare face proudly.

191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7C5Ln7OK1

Who am I?

How should I present?

191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgJcLoCzt9

Why does my skin not feel like

My own skin anymore?

191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0Pp0thiu5

Maybe it's me,

Maybe it’s societal pressure.

191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJtwkXh2Np

Maybe it's real confidence,

Maybe it's jealousy of others' confidence.

191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfP5ZMv0Se

I'd rather get stared at for scars,

Then stared at for having tits.

191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsOcAUVIh3

I'd rather get stared at for looking different,

Then to be ogled like a piece of meat.

191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUvhZXEAfK

Maybe it's me.

Maybe it's the trauma.

191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4lSEwQXLt

Maybe I care,

But maybe I really don't.

191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZgSg91kYR
