Anthem
We were left with scars of shame when all we wanted to do was sparkle a little in the sunlight. But I am all cells and nerves and magic and energy and mine.
How can I own this body that you never let be fully mine?
This is the fight to reclaim ourselves; our energy, bodies, joy and power. This is the howl of joy and anger that demands to be heard.
