Stand up and shout for equality.
Voices shout from the outside and withdraw
with tears.
Prayers wishing human society could love.
Stand up and shout today.
We're all corresponding in this substantial world.
Culpability shouldn't be at fault for using your voice.
Stand up and proclaim who you are, proclaim a story .
Your story.
Let the world know who you are.
Stand up proud and strong.
Don’t let the world lug you down.
Contentment will come to you.
Stand up and raise your flags.
Stomp with us.
Together we stand holding hands.
Stronger than any force.
Together we skim through the thoroughfare.
We stand smiling gleefully.
We were heard.
Day-to-day we fight.

When True Love Never Questions Your Soul
“And she’s going to learn that this life will hit you, hard, in the face, wait for you to get back up, just so it can kick you in the stomach but getting the wind knocked out of you is the only way to remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.” — Sarah Kay’s Poem — If I Should Have a Daughter
