I dye my hair so I can feel
like this body I see is real.
I dye my hair so I can see
the body I see is real.

I make up my face so I can feel
like this body I wear is beautiful.
I make up my face so I can see
the body I wear is beautiful.

I wear my clothes so I can feel
like this body in the mirror is unique.
I wear my clothes so I can see
the body in the mirror is unique.

I cut my skin so I can feel
like this body I inhabit is mine.
I cut my skin so I can see
the body I inhabit **is mine.
