So many feelings with pride

Let me hear your cries and meet them with my own

Let me match your feet in big boots that hurt with my own

Let me smile and laugh and hold up my own

Let me argue and debate my existence with even my own

Let me go and march and try not to look around worriedly with my own

Let me take a bus with my own

Undress with my own

Argue and debate with even my own

Cry and laugh with my own

Argue and debate even with my own

Try and gather my breath feeling on my own

But remind myself as I scroll

they were with me too
