RESISTANCE
RESISTANCE
Written by Alana Cheng
There can be those
That will do all that they can
To silence us
For our existence
But it is up to us
To speak up and to be loud
In this resistance
For all that we are
And for all that we have become
So strong in making
All of our voices as loud
As it can be
For anyone or everyone
Who would be open
And understanding enough
To hear us
For all that we’ve got to say
And that is
We will not be erased
Or brushed aside
Just so those that are uncomfortable
Can live happily
Just to feel that we don’t have a right
To fucking exist
But this is our time
As those that have been silenced
For way too long
To stand up and to resist
The fight that is headed our way
And this is our time
To be mighty enough
To be headstrong
Against those that are doing
All that they can
To make us feel so unwanted
Despite our strength
In this everlasting moment
Of our resistance
To not be erased from existence
And to be so broken to where
They would think that it would be okay
Just to make us feel small
But in truth
We are all going to come through
To stand so tall
If we haven’t done so already
As we will rise up
And speak right up
To those that are against us
Just for existing
As the people that we are
And there will be those
That will try to go as far
As to break us so mercilessly down
But I know
That for me and for those
That are just like me
Will refuse to be forced to drown
So far away in the ground
‘Cause this is our fucking time
To raise our fucking voices
To be able to make a mighty sound
In fighting against the current
Of the negative waves of hurt and pain
That those that are feeling and thinking
That we don’t have a right to exist
Then here is our time
To so fucking resist
All of the moments of where
We can so easily be knocked down
But those that are doing
All that they can to hurt us
And destroy us in any way
That they most possibly can for sure
We will always continue to fight and to resist
Of the utmost chaos of hell
From anyone
That would do all that they can
To silence us and to make us feel
So damn unseen
We will rise up and we will yell
As you will see
What we all fucking mean
By knowing that in the fact
That there will be those
That are going to want so much
To silence our voices
We know that we have our choices
To be able to get up
And fight against those
That want to erase us all from existence
Then here is our moment
To fight with the help of our mighty strength
In this everlasting confidence
And most powerful feeling
Of our continuous resistance
