Born to be brave

in a way

that was no mistake

I was made by a being

so magical and mystical

it can only exist

in the realm of every insanity

it shares my DNA.

It doesn't matter

who you love

she loves me

as if this were the world

we were meant to grow

they made us perfect

with glitter and gaga

without any regret

stomping around

in boots and heels

this is our religion

capital drag queens

divas

beauty is who we are

I was born this way.

surround my eyes in liner

paint my hands

with your evergreen

brothers and sisters from other worlds

made together to survive

with lights flashing around our heads

making our lashes sparkle

watching each body glow

elevating to a new height today

it's time we all get up

this is our time

we'll rise from under the pavement

out from the ghettos of your insecurity

we are not afraid

love who you are

we were born this way.
