We Will Always Be

Through the stroke of a pen, they seek to erase us. 

They try to lock away our stories, to silence us.

We will always be.


They revoke the medicine that saves us. 

We will always be.



Our existence isn't granted by permission, nor can it be revoked. 

We will always be.



We've experienced societies that refused to see us.

We've survived centuries of being unnamed.

We've passed down wisdom through generations of struggle.

We will always be.



Let them build their paper walls and digital barricades.

Let them pretend we are a modern invention.

History knows differently.

We will always be.



Our bodies are not theoretical concepts.

Our lives are not hypothetical debates.

Our humanity is not conditional.

We will always be.



In the face of cruelty, we find belonging.

Against erasure, we write ourselves into existence.

Despite their fear, we cultivate joy.

We will always be.



This march forward isn't just resistance - it's continuance.

It's the unbroken thread of who we've always been.

We will always be.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
