When they forgot your name, but he made headlines, We remembered. When they exalted him, despite your pleas, We mourned. When they probed your body in a sterile room, We held your hand. When they let him free, but questioned your past, We cried for justice. When they asked what you’d be drinking or how you’d been dressed, We protested. When you told the truth and they branded you “liar,” We believed you. When it seems like progress falls stagnant, the villains win, and hope is far too fleeting, I promise, we are with you.

we are here (TW: SA/SV)
When they forgot your name, but he made headlines, We remembered. When they exalted him, despite your pleas, We mourned. When they probed your body in a sterile room, We held your hand. When they let him free, but questioned your past, We cried for justice. When they asked what you’d be drinking or how you’d been dressed, We protested. When you told the truth and they branded you “liar,” We believed you. When it seems like progress falls stagnant, the villains win, and hope is far too fleeting, I promise, we are with you.
