A person who chooses
Themself over motherhood
Is a gladiator indeed

A person who has lost a child
And attempts again
Is a champion

A person who chooses to parent
Children they did not birth
Is a beacon

A person who uses their power
To allow another to raise their children
Is a warrior

These people have won
The biggest fight of all

They have learned to value
Their truth over the world’s
Expectations

That’s the most valiant thing on this side of the stars
