They said I was too much.
I say I’m just getting started.
This one’s for the autistic queers, the big laughers, the soft-hearted sparkle bombs.
You’re not too much — you’re a garden in full bloom.

I wanted a body like Chyna.
Now I channel Rhea Ripley.
Soft and strong — here I stand.

This is a moment from my full music video “My Body, As It Is”

This poem is for every queer kid who was told to bow their head and wait to be fixed.

I faked tongues. Braced my knees. Called it healing.

Now I sing with my whole chest.

I faked tongues while thinking about nachos and Levi Sanford’s forearms.
They called it healing.
I call it trauma.
