"In commemoration to all those who defended my voice,
long before I could speak"...




Suffragette I'll stand beside you. Speak when you're too worn when countries burden you when history re-writes your legacy, I will stand in your stead. Lead those into unity Hold composure and while others turn and forget I will always speak of your victories. I will carry you on my voice, as my strength and my memory. Though your politics, your leaders And your own might discriminate I refuse to cover, turn my back on you. One torch might burn in dark solitude But if held high It can spark the actions of millions.
