I now know why I feel pressure
Building up
All
These years
And my need to steal my dad’s dirty magazines and his button up tops
My ultra feminine side is very beautiful
Yet my masculine voice and stride is beautiful too,
Yet it all is shrouded in a presentation that’s hard to see
It’s dying to be heard
It’s dying to be seen,
I’m afraid of all the hatred out there
I’m afraid of how others will make fun of me
I’m more afraid than I’ll admit
But the pain over the years is too much
The pressure is too high
The dysphoria is creeping
Where am I?
