I see what they see, yet they don't see what I see when they look in my reflection, they see what I am when I look in my reflection, I see what I want to be when they look in my closet, they see the clothes I wear when I look into my closet, I see the clothes I want to wear they see my form as a shell, nothing more than protection I see my form as a cocoon, with a more beautiful creation inside it's walls while they see me and I see them it is not the same in the looking glass

Not the same in the looking glass
I see what they see, yet they don't see what I see when they look in my reflection, they see what I am when I look in my reflection, I see what I want to be when they look in my closet, they see the clothes I wear when I look into my closet, I see the clothes I want to wear they see my form as a shell, nothing more than protection I see my form as a cocoon, with a more beautiful creation inside it's walls while they see me and I see them it is not the same in the looking glass
today is national transgender/nonbinary visibility day, so this is for those who stand under that umbrella, dedicated to max
