When I was young, they said
She can wear them
those gaudy clothes

And now they are who I am
apart from my body
that they camouflage

They are the strong woman
who lets herself be guided
by them who are weak

and afraid, as if it is their fault
to be nobody, one of the many
who are not heard

Together we fight
my name and I
we fight for someday

freedom and peace everywhere
wisdom everywhere
compassion everywhere
