Brandish

I brandish my love for you

A weapon against a world that tells girls they are not enough

I fight for you

Pushing back on traditions that allow me to benefit from your sacrifice

I will not accept

That things must be as they have always been

My love for you opens my eyes

But your worth is not as my possession or creation or property

You are invaluable

I am the lucky one who gets this chance to be more than your ally

I brandish my love for you

Your accomplice as we chase down your dreams
