My Lament
Hold your breath...Make a wish...Count to three...

Look at me and you'll see
I'm a -- product of rejection
I'm so sad, feeling bad
that I -- failed to pass inspection

Not like you, what to do
when my -- TS friend rejects me
Would have thought that at least
you'd accept me

Wearing lovely clothes is comforting
Thought I finally had some meaning
Experienced instead demeaning;
You dismissed the way I see me

Look and see; it's just me
We were -- s’posed to be companions
I was wrong, don’t belong,
Cause I’m -- utterly abandoned.

Hard to say, either way
if I'll -- ever pass inspection
Crushed my soul, took its toll
with rejection

Yes I wear a skirt; I feel so good;
even though I failed your test
I’m just sorry I confessed
that it's really not the dress

I’m in pain once again
“Cause I’m not -- accepted by my sister
I’m dismissed by her now
Merely -- just another mister.

Second class, not to pass
Just one -- more of your inspections
I’m so sad that it’s come to another
rejection

To the tune of Pure Imagination
composed by Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse
