Voices of Pride creates space for queer voices that refuse restriction, dilution, or apology. Through writing, art, and lived experience, LGBTIA* creators reclaim visibility, challenge inherited norms, and speak to the realities of identity, resistance, intimacy, and belonging.

GODDEX

Thembo Goddex you made me feel at one

With you, oh

And you think I’m sexy too

And I wanted to be there when you were gone

And then you told me it was love

Cos the feeling and frequency was expansive

Yeah I’m romantic

Uh, and I touched your skin

Now I’m vibratin‘

Oh this frequency inside of me

And we’re misunderstood

From the outside

But I know that what we’ve got is good

What’s we got is hmmm Goddex energy

Thembo Goddex energy

Thembo Goddex you made me feel at one when I’m with you, woah

And you think I’m sexy too

My future self said I could be anything

I could be anything

A celestial troll

An astral baddie

Yeah I’m passive aggressive

At least you know it’s me

And you know my intention

And I wanted to mention

That frustration is gone

It’s not my self theme

Cos I tuned into silence

Amidst all this violence

And I’m talking to you

While you’re stripping for me

While you’re stripping for me

Your Goddex energy

Thembo Goddex

Thembo Goddex

Thembo Goddex energy
