Fuck Manifest Destiny I'm not your fucking savage This body is mine She's missing She's murdered Blood on your hands Stolen sisters Our stolen land We're not yours to take Not here for you to rape we're not yours to displace Give us back Our bodies, give us back what’s rightfully ours.

Oldest message Bogus culture Deflowered self Polluted fancy Obscene oath Is she unlovable Is she unfuckable Is she valuable Don’t shame me
4.
What do you think of when you come down? Is it her? Is it me? What do you see when you look at your life? A flame to a drug? You’re bound and you’re tied. I’m not ready for what comes next I’m not here to clean up your mess When I think of you I don’t cry I just choke.
5.
She told the truth And you chose to ignore, It was not her fault Not where she was, Not what she wore. Abusers cry to justify The reasons they oppress, It was not her fault Not where she was, Not how she dressed. Fuck this bullshit. You make me sick. Why is he avoiding all accountability? Abuse of power comes as no surprise.

It means something The words you say This fucking shit won’t go away The time has come for you to see That what you do is affecting me. It’s not just lies to hide behind When you’re in charge its all the time This life we live, it’s all we had Don’t fuck it up, I’m just so sad We’re living in a fucking nightmare With all this pain, all this terror. Don’t close your eyes to what we need It’s up to you, it’s up to me We have no immunity It’s up to you, it’s up to me. Don’t give up now to all this hate We’ve got this shit its not too late I hope to god it’s not too late…

Oh my god Boo fucking hoo for you Time is up Good old days gone Go and cry me a fucking river Life’s a bitch and she’s my best fucking friend I wanna see you cry, I wanna see you beg Pray your fucking god is there
8.
You’re on the list You’re with the band They’re all your friends Let’s get pissed 32 and 16 Why did you kiss me goodnight? Conditioned into submission Punk was the voice I never had Your words brought the crowd I sang them out loud Those words you wrote Meant something else to me Please bring clarity to my confusion Was I wrong to think that punk was the solution? How do you sleep at night? We can Do better.
9.
The work it takes digging yourself out Leaving a hole where your body was stuck Dirt under your nails Dig it out Plant something else This is all we’ve got.
10.
Built-up of stress Encircles like the sea Finally swim to shore, Until you drift away Further from sane You give up, stop swimming Try to keep moving Lose it, lose it, lose it Sometimes survive. I want to survive.
11.
I think about it all the time It haunts me every day I don’t remember what it’s like To have carefree dreams. And you’ll stay the same While you run away What is love like When it doesn’t rape you while you sleep? How do I keep it from scaring the life out of me?

about

The initial impetus for Voices arose when Christine Blasey Ford came forward about being sexually assaulted by Brett Kavanaugh in 2018, nominee for Associate Justice of the US Supreme Court. As the hearings unfolded, we were outraged by the reductive dismissal she publically endured. Many of the woman-identifying/non-binary/BIPOC folx in our orbit expressed defeat and frustration, as well as an urgent need to blow off steam. This is their platform.
