You can slap tattoos on me
It doesn't mean I will be free
Of doubt when nearby normalcy
Makes something die inside!
My leg hair's growing patchy
Cause I glued some on a doll
My pubes are crawling down my thighs
And I don't care at all
But when the normie cis-dude
Who's selling me eye-glasses
Looks directly at me
Something in me crashes
The wildness in me dashes
Intimidated by my
Internal fucking fascist
...and I just bat my lashes
I can bow the whole day through
To ingratiate myself to you
To pay you niceties untrue
While something dies inside!
My wildness is unbounded
My opinions sharp and clear
Power surges through my veins
ANIMALS LIVE IN HERE
So why these dismal traces
Of self-consciousness
When the only thing I need is
My own unbridled "Yes!"
My own witchiness
Born and built and grown from
The freaks who love me most
Who lay the doubt to rest
You can jeer and point and stare
You can trap me anywhere
Be as plastic as you dare
I'll still come alive
