Its hard to be queer

 It's hard to be queer when you don't like poetry or astrology
When you don't look the cute futch part exactly
With your pierced eyebrow and your shaved undercut and your plaid flannel shirt.
Your slim body and hip bones that poke into your high waisted faded jeans.

Its hard to be queer and fat and trans and not able bodied and not neurotypical and not white and just sad some days.

It's hard to be queer and American but it's harder to be queer and Russian or queer and Packistani or queer and Iraqui.

It's hard to be queer and in love but it's harder to be queer and single.

Queer and alone.
