I'm trying to be perfect and
maybe it's working but I'm
lonely and exhausted and
to be honest
I don't really care
how much prettier I'd look
if I smiled more or
caked my face in makeup or
wore something different once in a while and
I could care less whether or not
you think I should spend more time
at church and with my family
and for heck's sake I
give less than a rat about how
your language isn't very ladylike
you should grow your hair out again
you need to focus more on school
And if you tell me one more time that
gender is what God chose
God will make a divine intervention
Oh wait-
nope.
that was my knee
in your d*ck.

F*ck off.
