Rotten guts

Rotten teeth

Rotten dreams

Rotten sleeps

Rotten smiles

Rotten trends filled with online circles of rotten pretend friends

Rotten media

Rotten phones but ya keep scrolling down ​'cause ya clinging to that rotten hope

Rotten food

Rotten cis-tems

Force feeding young rotten brothers and cis-ters

Rotten fathers that told ya being gay wasn't right

And it's that same rotten thinking that consumes you late at night

Rotten cane toads steal from this land

Steal water, steal rights and then still ask for tax

Rotten fat cats

Rotten ideas

Rotten boomer voters that hold your bright future in their hands

Rotten roads that lead to no fruitful end

Rotten individuals that make you feel decayed

Because you're queer

Because you're trans

Because you don't fit the hetro norm you don't deserve the same basic human rights

Sometimes you think your anger inside has turned you rotten, but that rotten protects you

It knows your mistreatment and your abuse was unacceptable

It knows that you are deserving of kindness and love

Rotten guts

Rotten teeth

But believe me you're not rotten, you're what's golden in this rotting world
