You don't know me.
Here I am.

Do you know?

Do you know who I am?

Who gives you that right?
Surely it isn't God given.
Surely it isn't purely because of your DNA.
Surely it isn't what your mother taught you.
Surely it isn't your age.

Do you understand me?

Do you know what I mean?

You don't have the right.

My rights are clear.
I stand for what I believe in.
I stand for respect.
I stand for safety.
I stand for justice.
I stand for peace.
I stand for music.
I stand for love.
I stand for understanding of all people, all situations.

I know.
I have the power.
I have the respect.
I have the abilities, talents and skills.

I know.
