“السبب في شقاء الانسان أنه دائما يزهد في سعادة يومه ويلهو عنها بما يتطلع إليه من سعادة غده، فإذا جاء غده اعتقد أن امسه كان خيرا من يومه، فهو لاينفك شقيا في حاضره وماضيه.”

“telling me
not all men
have
bad intentions
doesn't do
anything to
reassure
me.
after i
walk away from you,
nothing will have
changed.
i will still
be scared to
leave my house
after sundown.
i will still
find comfort
in keys resting
between fingers,
i will still
question
the intentoins of
every man i know
i will still
wonder
when i am
to become
a story
meant to warn
other people's
daughters,
& i will still
cry when i turn on
the television
to find
yet
another man
getting away
with
well--
what they
always seem to
get away with.
i am not
the one who
has to change
the way i think
or the way i act.
they are.”
