\u2026For those of us
who were imprinted with fear
like a faint line in the center of our foreheads
learning to be afraid with our mother\u2019s milk
for by this weapon
this illusion of some safety to be found
the heavy-footed hoped to silence us
For all of us
this instant and this triumph
We were never meant to survive\u2026.

~ Audre Lorde, Litany for Survival
