At least I'll be ready for my midlife crisis

Seeing as how all my days are crisis

197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVp5lxTBeTc

Grow out my hair,

Chop off the hair.

197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDae3ukY7v

Keep the natural color,

Dye and redye it all colors.

197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNOWpkohTE

Get my nails done,

Keep them short and natural.

197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJngQSA6kqP

Wear femme clothes,

Do my make up all nice for hours.

197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyp3CN1nn2

Wear masc clothing,

Wear a bare face proudly.

197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSZKgeWWPx

Who am I?

How should I present?

197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZ40hx1HG7

Why does my skin not feel like

My own skin anymore?

197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDJsWaLIP7

Maybe it's me,

Maybe it’s societal pressure.

197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcam6YTQdN9

Maybe it's real confidence,

Maybe it's jealousy of others' confidence.

197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIeHWt8C7r

I'd rather get stared at for scars,

Then stared at for having tits.

197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wGCzyvd98

I'd rather get stared at for looking different,

Then to be ogled like a piece of meat.

197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcMkAk0u94

Maybe it's me.

Maybe it's the trauma.

197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6vBjctgFS

Maybe I care,

But maybe I really don't.

197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiPoVFvrUt
