Say My Name

They write our stories in the margins of the law. Try to sell

our bodies like a price they never saw. We're walking through their headlines with

our hearts in our hands. Every step a protest, every breath a

stand. You say it first to tell us what our futures hold.

But we are not a bellad. We are fire. We are bold.

This is for the daughters, mothers, friends who came before.

For the ones still whispered behind a closed door. We won't bow. We won't be

shamed. We'll light the flame. Say my name. Keep my name.
