This is for the rebels
For those who stir in their sleep
Who dream loudly
Who love deeply
This is for the activists
With their ears to the pulse of the people
Who create and dare to be different
This is for the truth tellers
The ones who share their stories
The ones whose myths they weave on their sleeves
This is for the justice seekers
Who measure time on balanced scales
Who see battlegrounds on city streets and in our hearts
This is for the girls, the women, the mothers
The boys, the men, the fathers
Those who do not want to be defined in binary terms
The others, the outcasts, the stigmatized-bodied
The world is yours to take back
This is the battle cry
Freedom fighters waiting for their chance to strike
To strike love in every corner of the soul
The part of you that begs to love your body
Here we are
Join our fight
This is love.
