Because some mornings
The mirror reflects
A question mark
Because love for some
Is still a whispered secret
Because the world says
Be yourself
But adds
Not like that
Because rainbows
Are still seen as warnings
In certain skies
Because every parade
A protest
Sequins and sweat
Because silence
Never did anyone
Any favours
Because pride
Is more than a month
It's a lifeline
A reminder
A hand on your shoulder
Saying
You're here
You matter
Because being proud
Shouldn't be
An act of defiance
Because until every heart
Beats freely
We'll keep marching
Keep singing
Keep claiming space
Because there's no such thing
As too much love
(too much light)
No such thing
As too much light
(too much love)
No such thing
As too much love
When it's your own
