Countermeasures
They attack us
They mock us
They measure us by the sum of our body parts
They examine our hair like its from another planet
They use us in their lyrics calling us out of our names
We learn
We love
We grow
We fight
We remember
They dissect us
They reduce us to numbers
They abandon us
They kick us when we're down
They laugh at our tears
We see
We hear
We nurture
We heal
We win
