Keep Your Hands To Yourself
December 27, 2021
We are not a prize to be won
Nor a trophy to be shown
We might sparkle in the dark
and shine in your eyes
But we are not something you own
Or throw aside to the curb
Like a trash bag, worth nothing
We can combine our voices
Into one
Show you that we are not a small mouse
You can step on
You degrade our voices
Make us feel small
But we don’t remember needing you
at all
