There are monsters all around us
They can be so hard to see
hey don't have fangs, no blood-soaked claws
They look like you and me.

But we're not defenseless
We're no damsels in distress
Together we can fend off the attack
All we gotta do is watch our backs.

Your body is beautiful how it is
Who you love is nobody's business

It thrives on fear-keeps us isolated
But together we can fend off its attack
All we gotta do is watch our backs.

When the fight's made you weary
When you think you've lost your power
When you can't see clearly
When you're ready to surrender

look over your shoulder
I've got your back. — Gayle Forman
