Pride
Folder:
2022 it’s getting pretty dark
too dark to surrender
or let your hand go
it’s getting pretty light
as I stand right here
and their voices fill me up
fitting how many times I almost cry
for the things we’ve lost
the things we never had
the beauty we are
and we are here
intent and exploding
fearless and pretty
shouting and whispering
laughing for all the years we have been hiding
just pull me through this
let me feel the crowd
without feeling the sting of the world
I thought I knew what pride was
standing next to you
in spite of it all
how it rose in me
when the hot air balloon inside of me expands
but here
ripping strength through me as we tear through the city
my god
it is fucking exponential
