Rupi Kaur
“Every time you
tell your daughter
you yell at her
out of love
you teach her to confuse
anger with kindness
which seems like a good idea
till she grows up to
trust men who hurt her
cause they look so much
like you.”
Rupi Kaur

“Living everyday in the presence of those who refuse to acknowledge your humanity takes great courage.”
Min Jin Lee, Pachinko

Tomihiko Morimi
“Waiting for your lover is unbearable
Making your lover wait, more unbearable still
Then what of me, all alone
Neither waiting nor awaited?”
Tomihiko Morimi, The Night Is Short, Walk on Girl

“i do not want to have you
to fill the empty parts of me
i want to be full on my own

i want to feel so complete
i could light a whole city
and then
i want to have you
cause the two of
us combined
could set
it on fire”
Rupi Kaur

“if he can't help but
degrade other women
when they're not looking
if toxicity is central to his language

in his lap and be soft
honey
that man could feed you sugar and
douse you in rose water
but that still could not
make him sweet

-if you want to know what the type of man he is”
Rupi Kaur, Milk and honey
