Dirt
All this pride and
No respect.
Just shared a meme that
Said that.
Never seen something
So straightforward
That gave me so many feelings
Like I’d been understood
I can’t be proud of my identity
While also being shamed for it
I also can’t be confidently queer
In a world where your queerness
Is measured by your sex appeal
Your wallet, your literal net worth
It doesn’t mean anything to be
To be proud of who I am
If I’m always being treated like
Dirt.
