Walk on, Child
My dear Child,
I ask you to always walk on.
When they speak your name with venom and hate
and try to erase you
walk on, child.
When they force you into clothes that do not fit
walk on, child.
They cannot break you if you walk on.
They cannot find you if you go beyond their sight.
They will not hate you if you stand together
and walk on.

My family
