To the outside they say danger, wrong, different, outsider.
The the inside they say strong, confident, free, feminine.
To survive is to hide, behind the bars of society and self,
While to live is to be bold and stand for the truth.
To find your freedom and to live your truth is to give life to those who came before,
To those that will come after.
And to those that are trapped in the now.
Find your inside and show it to the outside,
For you, for your people.
Find your Red Lips.
