At least I'll be ready for my midlife crisis 

Seeing as how all my days are crisis

Grow out my hair,

Chop off the hair. 

247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03Jcbnfpwy

Keep the natural color, 

Dye and redye it all colors. 

247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYnhGLRkkF

Get my nails done,

Keep them short and natural.

247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXI0vF1MVL

Wear femme clothes, 

Do my make up all nice for hours.

247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DtWyrawYW

Wear masc clothing,

Wear a bare face proudly. 

247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeWEoaWeXM

Who am I?

How should I present?

247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjo9PQjPJy

Why does my skin not feel like 

My own skin anymore?

247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7tN6sQOpt

Maybe it's me,

Maybe it’s societal pressure.

247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFImeAANyki

Maybe it's real confidence,

Maybe it's jealousy of others' confidence.

247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuIZSM4p1k

I'd rather get stared at for scars, 

Then stared at for having tits.

247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFE32Z5Beo

I'd rather get stared at for looking different,

Then to be ogled like a piece of meat. 

247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURilrSge0r

Maybe it's me.

Maybe it's the trauma.

247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9EGph56BW

Maybe I care, 

But maybe I really don't.
