Shame Club Beats
The only thing I relate to
Other queer people about is
Shame largely due to the fact
That I have rather an
Abundance of it.
It might be most of how I see myself,
Honestly!
Why is it that I have to
Downplay, hide, re-narrate
My experience into a triumph, again?
For the trans kids…?
What the hell, man—
When I was a kid
I felt the exact same way
I do now
But way way angrier and
No one knew what I was talking about
Who beats shame when the shame club
Beats you anyway ?
