Do you not get it?
this is it-
i am me.

And yes, you can turn away-
try and force me out-
paint upon yourself lies & misattractions

that's all play
and i've been involved
for too many years
to be swayed.

Bring it on-
this isn't a game-
no childish fantasy.
i'm ugly when i'm jealous-
i get insecure
and i'm too fond of lace & heels.
There's nothing i haven't been-
tried to fit in
and chances are. i'll try once more.

so drop your lame excuses
and for once-
let go of your head

if it falls off
you can always pick it up again.
