Step one:
Convince yourself
But I'm not sure.
Which should I call myself?
Am I really?
Is it just a phase?
Step two:
Tell your friend
I'm skipping steps now.
She knows.
Midnight tells secrets.
She's helping
And it's not as scary.
But she's simple about it.
"Just go with the simplest".
I'm scared to ask for other help.
Step three:
Tell the family
As if.
I'm never going to.
I'm not ready, I'll never be ready.
They hate us.
And if I said who I thought I was, I'd be
lost.
So for now I'm hiding.
Step four:
Take pride
I don't think I can. It scares me
And no matter how hard she tries,
she can't tell me how to feel
And who I am.
She's well-meant. But I can't
Let her dictate who I am.
So she will help, but in the end
It's up to me
