shed each layer

it’s a curse

count your prayers

it gets worse

---

you’ll drown in fears

play make-belief

try changing gears

get no relief

---

dress up nicely

change your hair

it will get pricy

to start to care

---

they’ll always judge

they’ll call you slurs

might need a nudge

don’t hit reverse

---

your smile might falter

your steps get weak

i’ll watch you alter

the way you speak

---

but in the end

things might be fine

as you ascend

reflections shine

---

just be yourself

is what they’ll say

and just perhaps

there is a way
