I painted my nails today
For the first ever time
And not gonna lie
I did a pretty **** job of it
But such feminine activities
Were just the things I ran from
As a child
In muddy sneakers and men’s tees
Just like my emotions
Or any real feelings I had
Jealousy, Admiration, Love
For I; all brazen and foolhardy was
Too tough for silver nails
Or pigtails and tears
Even true love

In muddy sneakers and men’s tees

Or any real feelings I had
Jealousy, Admiration, Love
For I; all brazen and foolhardy was
Too tough for silver nails
Or pigtails and tears
Even true love
