Speak

I will not be rendered mute
By your blindness.

Your impairment will not become mine.

I will rise up
And I will speak
I will not be silenced
And I will not be afraid to
Love.

I will not let you tell me that I am a
Second-class fucking citizen
And I will not be ground down by your ignorance
Or by your fear.

I will FIGHT
And those who stand with me in the name of equality
Will fight as only love can.

You choose to be blind.
You willfully stray to darkness
And selfishness—

But your impairment will not become mine
And I will not be rendered mute.
