“COLOURS IN THE MIRROR
One day my pride will outlive myself and whatever remains of its colours will be remembered by others - for I was always my true self.
I live too little for things that make me dream & care too much for fears that sleep in between the fine lines of my weary mind - so write me gentle words, for it may break.
My diversity should not be a mistake but a celebration of identity & guiding light to others who ache to leave the numbness of »pretending-to-be«.
We are not broken mirrors that hurt the world by showing our true reflection;
we are merely hearts used to rejection - yet, their words will only blur but not break our shine.”

“QUIET WRITING
Quiet
does not mean
that we have nothing to say,
or that we leak the power of speech -
we rise up and tell our truths
even if it feels like people don't like it the least;
Writing
is our means
to have something to tell
when we lost our voice suddenly
we still stand behind our truths
even if it feels like people
won't like it.
Beautifully
are the quiet lines
written with thunder
and silent boldness -
for we can have a revolution
inside the pages of nowadays.”
