Colours, joy, and diversity
Rights, equity, and opportunities
Resist to become
A reality in accounting.
One more selective test,
I reflect, can I resist?
Resist, fight, challenge me
Can I rest?
LGBT can't stop.
Will I get home safely?
I cannot stop,
I won this opportunity
And tomorrow I must introduce myself.
You must believe,
It is necessary to dream
It is necessary to conquer.
They ask me if I only talk about it
I think of denying
But can the minority, another topic research?
Can LGBT graduate students rest?
You must believe and resist,
So that one day we can choose
what do we want to talk about?
May the colours of the rainbow represent,
The joy of graduate students
Your dreams come true.
