lyrics

I feel like I am in constant state of grief
I feel like I am always crying underneath
Though I know I am worthy of air
And far earned the space to reach my full wing
Span across a cowering meek
Folding into myself from fatigue
Why shine in a place of clever cruelty
Built on theft and elite liberty
When before and during
There were are many
That dared to continue to be
I comfort this inner grief
Steadying waves to rush out steadily
The body is not built to contain
Sun nor ocean, fire nor fury
This is sadness and pain
Where joy needs to freely be
I don’t know all the whys but I am sorry
I’m sorry grief as I sit, listen and learn
With good ear acute to recall
The murmurs and knowings of it all
With memories and stance
Igniting the reset dance
Breathe Queen!
And remember who You are

Reclaim
Your
Throne
