We are free

We are brave

We are light

I want to scribble graffiti on the empty walls of your heart like fine art

To whisper light into the cracks

To offer myself up as the easel for your brushstrokes and mindless wandering

Say these words after me

Repeat over yourself like an incantation

Immerse yourself in them

Over and over again

We are here for baptism

Of words and of truth

Say after me

There is a wild universe bustling on my inside

I am a galaxy of possibilities

Beautiful in every way

I am the earthquake in hesitation's house

The wildfire that refuses to dim

I am a story still unfolding

With ink too bold to be erased

I do not shrink to fit shadows

I am the light that teaches darkness how to dance

There is a river of gold running through my veins

A rainbow of brilliance that will not be tamed

My breath is a manifesto

Of purpose written before the foundation of time

I am not small

Not the afterthought not the echo not the shadow

I am the voice the force the fire

I take up space

Boldly unapologetically as I should

I am not a mistake

Not a glitch not a second guess

I am intentional crafted with care

Woven from strength stitched with purpose

For I am a name that will not be whispered

I will be shouted

Sung from the rooftops of possibility

A standing ovation in human form

The beat that never misses

The sound of arrival

I am the anthem

And the world will sing me right

We will shout it from the rooftops

We will shout it from the streets

We are free

We are brave

We are light

This is our anthem

The world will sing along

One word at a time

One verse at a time

One song at a time

This is our anthem

There's no mountain big enough

Cos we are free

We are brave

We are light

Repeat these words like a rhythm like a prayer

Let them settle into your bones

Until they are louder than doubt

Stronger than fear

Truer than the lies you've been told

Shout it as loud as you can

Roar into the bellows of your being

Fill those empty spaces with life

Remind your heart what it's like to know still ground

Bite it back

Ohhhh Ohhhhh

We are free

We are brave

We are light
