I’ve always wanted to shock and awe
I’ve always wanted to look pretty
I feel pretty
So very, very pretty
It’s unconventional
Still have that sharp jawline
Nothing much I can do about that
But my eyes pop
My lips look soft and kissable
I feel so very pretty
Let my hair down
Let it swing past my shoulders
Much better
I feel naked and exposed
I am naked
Under the dress
This image I see now
But with the emotions I feel
“Your parenting is ruining him”
As if yours was any better
As if yours is any better
“He looks like a girl”
Negative memories creep in
Time to take off the dress
I want to stay in it
I want to stay pretty
I’m not ashamed of what’s between my legs
Bring the shield back up
But it’s exhausting
I’m exhausted
I just want to look pretty
I just want to feel pretty
I’ve seen some other pretty boys around
I think about what it would be like to kiss them
I think about how they’d make me feel
Make me feel pretty
Make me immortal
Make me wanted
Make me the object of desire
Let it last a little longer
Shame won’t allow it
Time to take the dress
Will it ever go back on?
