Pink Hoodie
(he/him/they/them)
my social justice superhero, possessing the power to speak in and through other artists
Pledge Come Alive[1]
I pledge allegiance
to the homies[2]
of the United States of the American cool[3]
I am not America’s nightmare[4]
and to the republic for
my freedom calls and I must go[5]
one nation
with certain unalienable rights[6][7]
with liberty
for my raging fire[8]
and justice
you better know what you're fighting for[9]
for all
I like that[10]
