I'm not me.
I don't like the way I am.
I'm not the right type of me.
I'm not the me I show.

The things I do.
The items I own.
The way I act.
The body I have.

These things aren't really me.
I don't like the way I am.
I want to be different.
I don't want to be me.

I don't want to cross my legs.
I don't want to wear skirts and dresses.
I don't want to hop and skip.
I don't want to do what she does.

I want to slouch when I sit.
I want to wear suits and ties.
I want to run and jump.
I want to do what he does.

I don't want to have heels and flats.
I don't want to have necklaces and hairties.
I don't want to have makeup and perfume.
I don't want to have what she has.

I want to have boots and hightops.
I want to have hats and sunglasses.
I want to have hairgel and cologne.
I want to have what he has.

I don't want to act cute and reserved.
I don't want to act bubbly and sweet.
I don't want to act lady like.
I don't want to act like she does.

I want to act wild and open.
I want to act tough and strong.
I want to act manly.
I want to act like he does.

I don't want the long, flowy hair.
I don't want the petite frame.
I don't want the rosy cheeks.
I don't want the body she has.

I want the short, fluffy hair.
I want the tall, strong frame.
I want the sharp jawline.
I want the body he has.

Yeah, I said it.
I don't like the way I am.
I don't want to be "her".
I want to be "him".
