See Me from Boundless by Amelia Snow

I'm writing this with shaking hands
'Cause they've drawn their lines deep in the sand
A court of power, cloaked in pride
Said I'm invalid — just denied

No call, no voice, no open door
They spoke to bigots, nothing more
No seat for us, no truth allowed
Just fear dressed up in legal shrouds

They looked at science, then looked away
Chose hate and lies — then called it law today

So fuck your silence, and fuck your shame
I'm not a ghost, I've got a name
I bleed, I love, I work, I cry
I'm done just trying to survive

See me — I am not your myth or sin
See me — I'm here and I'm not giving in
You can't erase what you don't understand
I am real, I am proud, I still stand

You talk like I'm a policy
Like my life's a fucking controversy
But I'm your neighbour, I'm your kin
I'm your colleague, I am not your sin

This isn't just semantics, no
This is the knife you twist so slow
While we fight daily just to breathe
You write us out with courtroom sleaze

We've got the facts, we've got the scars
You've got power and poisoned hearts

So fuck your silence, and fuck your shame
I'm not a ghost, I've got a name
I bleed, I love, I work, I cry
I'm done just trying to survive

See me — I am not your myth or sin
See me — I'm here and I'm not giving in
You can't erase what you don't understand
I am real, I am proud, I still stand

This is not a phase, not some disguise
It's flesh and soul you criminalise
I won't be polite, I won't sit still
I am not broken — I am will

We're done whispering behind closed doors
We're done bleeding for your culture wars
We're still rising, battle-scarred
And you'll see us — every time you try too hard

So fuck your silence, and fuck your shame
We're not your pawns, we've got a name
We live, we love, we fight, we cry
We're done just scraping by

See us — we are not your myth or sin
See us — we're loud, and we're not giving in
You can't erase what you don't understand
We are real, we are proud, and we still stand

We still stand.
We still fucking stand.
