“say, beautiful
& point to the map of your body
say, brave
& were your skin like a gown or a suit
say, hero
& cast yourself in the lead role
///
when a girl pronounces her own name
there is glory
when a woman tells her own life story
she lives forever”

“Even though trauma has a way of
becoming the wallpaper of my head,
watch me drag the art
out of my suffering.
Watch me plant seeds down my spine
and bloom into a garden of poetry
from every horrible thing that has ever
happened to me, all the nights my voice
turned to cement and I couldn't say anything-
Watch me build an empire from the ashes
of everything that tried to destroy me.”
