Identity Crisis
No Plagiarism!nz0fLVXNX8QpNrZkL4bIposted on PＥNAＮＡ

At least I'll be ready for my midlife crisis 

Seeing as how all my days are crisis 

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ76bzqfnPW

Grow out my hair,

Chop off the hair. 

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60PlRHgYEl

Keep the natural color, 

Dye and redye it all colors. 

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5EVCfUPWm

Get my nails done,

Keep them short and natural.

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDedMZ3C76R

Wear femme clothes, 

Do my make up all nice for hours.

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJdGtNIxOV

Wear masc clothing,

Wear a bare face proudly. 

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNwMEfwQxc

Who am I?

How should I present?

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nYrBO5gPL

Why does my skin not feel like 

My own skin anymore?

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEqfQQ4hmB

Maybe it's me,

Maybe it’s societal pressure.

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7cc4kYEVk

Maybe it's real confidence,

Maybe it's jealousy of others' confidence.

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdD6Llir1Bx

I'd rather get stared at for scars, 

Then stared at for having tits.

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyP571pSZjc

I'd rather get stared at for looking different,

Then to be ogled like a piece of meat. 

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Tl5a1jsps

Maybe it's me.

Maybe it's the trauma.

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2Q7mdBvw8

Maybe I care, 

But maybe I really don't. 

409Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcXUQ6emcQ
