There's a climate rally 

okay let's go 

to that 

I'll make a sign 

But now we're making the sign 

with the markers

I take steps.

Tiny steps.

One

           Step 

                       At

Do you know how many minutes I save for you

So we can be together?

Do you know how it feels

When you throw them out

For other things?

Do you know how it feels

To never feel like you're good enough

Hate

Is ignorance:

It’s when eyes

Skim past the story of scars,

Focusing rather on the fact

They’re there;

They let the jagged curves

Fight

Fight back with your words not your aggression

Fight back with love not hate

Fight back with joy not drama

We cheer and shake our cowbells, waving at passing cars. 

Sometimes they roll down their windows, clapping and cheering back.

Sometimes they roll their eyes and look away, avoiding eye contact.
