“Lost So many sisters lost So many lost sisters Over the years, thousands of years So many sent away Too soon into the night By men who thought they had the right Rage and hatred Jealousy and fear So many sisters killed Over the years, thousands of years Killed by fearful men Who wanted to be taller Over the years, thousands of years So many sisters lost So many tears . . .”

“The birthday wish is the most power I have in my life right now. It’s my best chance at control. I don’t take this opportunity for granted. I want to make it count.”

“Through writing, I feel power for maybe the first time in my life. I don’t have to say somebody else’s words. I can write my own. I can be myself for once. I like the privacy of it. Nobody’s watching. Nobody’s judging. Nobody’s weighing in. No casting directors or agents or managers or directors or Mom. Just me and the page. Writing is the opposite of performing to me. Performing feels inherently fake. Writing feels inherently real.”
