I tell myself top surgery is too expensive
Too dangerous to go through with
I tell myself that having the freedom of looking in the mirror and not gagging
Is outweighed by the sickening looks I'll get from others
When I take my shirt off and they see the scars on my chest...

I tell myself the back aches from binding aren't that bad anyway
I tell myself it's okay thay I can't breathe properly
I tell myself it's okay that I don't even have enough oxygen to call for help
I tell myself I can always just wrap the ace bandages tighter
I tell myself I can always just grab a roll of duct tape and suffer through the pain
I tell myself a few broken ribs and a possible punctured lung is worth the way my flat chest makes me feel...

I tell myself it's worth it...
I tell myself lies...
