You Did It For Me Too!

This post is dedicated to all those who spoke up, stood up, helped the powerless, never stopped dreaming and dared to love even when it seemed impossible and became unbearable. I also want thank all of you who were before me because you gave me the legs to stand on, who are around me because you are the heart that beats in my chest and who will continue to come into being forevermore because you are my wings to the limitless sky! We all feed into each other and make each other stronger and better! 


Every time you stood up
for the rights of all,
You did it for me too!

Every time you questioned
the social norms,
You did it for me too!

Every time you dared
to be different,
You did it for me too!

Every time you suffered
pain and humiliation,
You did it for me too!

Every time you broke
the glass ceiling,
You did it for me too!

Every time you fell,
got up and moved forward,
You did it for me too!

Every time you extended your hand
to pick up a fellow human being,
You did it for me too!

Every time you shared 
an opportunity with the marginalized,
You did it for me too!

Every time you covered
someone's shame with dignity,
You did it for me too!

Every time you magnified
the voice of the lowly,
You did it for me too!

Every time you defeated
oppression and injustice,
You did it for me too!

Every time you raised
the banner of equality,
You did it for me too!
