Pace wrote a really beautiful and kick-ass poem for Magpie Girl, and it’s so beautiful and so kick-ass and so very apropos to the Freak Revolution, that I’m reposting it here for you guys.
A freak’s not a freak ’cause of piercings or hair,
Straightness or gayness or tattooed or bare.
It’s not how you look or what gender you wed;
What makes you a freak is inside of your head.
A freak is a person who doesn’t conform,
Whose thoughts wander ever afield from the norm.
It’s not a big checklist that sets you apart;
What makes you a freak is inside of your heart.
Have you read the Connection Manifesto? It tells the story of why there is so much hurt and sadness in the world, and how we can heal through connection.
