The right way to do

Give Dad the reigns

you don't think I steer better

I'm pushing retirement

you're trying high school letter

I have an eagle scout patch

you'd ask Grandma

to stitch your sweater

Let me push on you

what I think is cool

I'm older, not creepy

but bolder.

I'm so assured

our tastes have mistakes

but they also have matches

figuring out child proof latches

When, I 

like you

was young and dumb

still sucking my thumb

I have had enough

to know when I am done

you don't have enough

you wish you were that tough

I know enough 

to be comfortable enough

to say that I'm queer

I'm old enough 

to be young enough

to embrace all your fears

Who cares what they think

we're forced

different sinks

cant meet on the links

can agree on the kinks

You don't have to be scared

the stonewall sacrificed

for your fear

I admit that I'm queer

I'm different than you

I want to be different than you

I want to break out of the zoo

as if there's a clue, or someone to sue

a thing to fucking do

My life is all smeared

pasty, sweaty

defined queer

I'm different from you

what will you tell your kids to do

be yourself

or lie to God

will you tell them society thinks them odd

They are you

subvert all the trials you've been through

let Dad take the reigns

he thinks he knows the right way 

to prove!
