You find me when I walk alone -
are my companion when I'm on my own.
Standing by me in a rowdy crowd,
you encourage me TO SPEAK ALOUD.

There are times I know you grapple with fear
but instinctively know when it's time to appear.
Rising up, you hold my hand and walk me through this desolate land.
Giving me a voice when some have none;
only we know how far we've come.

I want to say thank you.

You punched that bully in the face;
gave me strength to run the human race.
And from the ashes you raised my voice
giving this woman what I like to call choice.
