HERE a poem

you tear me up you break me down i’m nothing but the shadow of shame spinning in circles above the ground i’m too afraid to call her by her name

i’m drowning in self-hate submerged in gallons of fear i know that’s it’s already too soon and too late but i came to tell you we’re here

i’m drenched in toxic slurs but i swam my way out i don’t care anymore fuck the pain fuck the doubt

look at me i’m fucking beautiful so is she and he and them look at us we’re fucking beautiful and you can’t call us ugly again
