Warsan Shire

“From time to time mothers in the wild devour their young,
an appetite born of pure, bright need.

mothers from ordinary homes, much like our own, feed on the viscid shame their daughters are forced to secrete from glands formed in the favor of men.”

Warsan Shire, Bless the Daughter Raised by a Voice in Her Head
