At least I'll be ready for my midlife crisis

Seeing as how all my days are crisis

82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVcgoEsJEC

Grow out my hair,

Chop off the hair.

82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiWpwqZF5R

Keep the natural color,

Dye and redye it all colors.

82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5ElAfQj6W

Get my nails done,

Keep them short and natural.

82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjXKbgqxB2

Wear femme clothes,

Do my make up all nice for hours.

82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMaqdSlgCJ

Wear masc clothing,

Wear a bare face proudly.

82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWha6xpKUv

Who am I?

How should I present?

82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVpbrkKhzM

Why does my skin not feel like

My own skin anymore?

82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHelpJt6l9

Maybe it's me,

Maybe it’s societal pressure.

82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKVJenf5XV

Maybe it's real confidence,

Maybe it's jealousy of others' confidence.

82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGzvw9QVss

I'd rather get stared at for scars,

Then stared at for having tits.

82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhjWsWbAYo

I'd rather get stared at for looking different,

Then to be ogled like a piece of meat.

82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNraFSZPw6

Maybe it's me.

Maybe it's the trauma.

82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBK9oHYQRO

Maybe I care,

But maybe I really don't.

82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcIHY2qYFc
