This is for us
For all of us who hold messages in our skin
Who shut our mouths instead of trusting our knowing
Trusting our voice has a place
Our skin wants to be heard
It wants to be seen
We have been silent too long
We have been hidden
We have been living out things that dont serve us
This is for us
For the woven-ness of us
For the seen-ness of us
For the collective voices of our skins to rise
In un-shrouded strength
This is for us
For our future
For our acknowledgement of the past
For our stepping into a different future
This is for us
This is for us
For all of us who hold messages in our skin
Who shut our mouths instead of trusting our knowing
Trusting our voice has a place
Our skin wants to be heard
It wants to be seen
We have been silent too long
We have been hidden
We have been living out things that dont serve us
This is for us
For the woven-ness of us
For the seen-ness of us
For the collective voices of our skins to rise
In un-shrouded strength
This is for us
For our future
For our acknowledgement of the past
For our stepping into a different future
This is for us
