Hope
“Sixty-five years of your gender oppression
Sixty-five years of your femininity oppression
Sixty-five years of your identity oppression
Sixty-five years of your pretendency as a male to please everyone.
Finally, you fled from your prison of oppression to rejoice in your internal feelings.
You are out to show the world who you are.
You are the light to the lightless in our community.
You are an identity for the millions of people in our community who don't have one
You are a light to millions of our community who can’t come out.
You are my hope.
You are a light.
You are a candle.
You are our symbol.
A symbol of light
A symbol of hope
A symbol of fight
Your sixty-five years of oppression are gone.
You are a star among stars.
You are a candle among candles now.
You gave us hope that age is not a factor to be considered, but rather desire.
A strong desire to live each day as we are
We can't live a century as outsiders to our own identity.
We can’t suppress our internal feelings.
We cannot suppress our hope.
We can’t suppress our desire to live as we are.
Our identity matters.
Our feelings matter.
Our lives matter.
Thank you for giving us hope to live as we are.
You are an inspiration to millions of hopeless people who can’t come out.
Long live our hope.
Long live our light.
Long live our morning star.
We love you so much for giving us hope of gaining our identity.
We love you so much for lighting our internal desires.
We love you so much for giving us hope that we can live with our true identity.”
