Pure femme Realness


I strut my stuff

Made up of

Highlight to blind my beloveds


So they blush at my passing

I want to be the kind that my non-beloveds

See at bars and think


Is that drag?

Who are you, really?

Darling, I’m more than whatever you think of me.


This makeup does itch a

bit This hair is bothersome

It must fade away.


Who I am is of no consequence,

I am just another patron in this place

Trying to find some friends


Just don’t call me.
