“i am writing my way back to you.”
Nayyirah Waheed, nejma

“Mother, I am ravenous. Mother it is not what they said, they did not tell us the truth, they did not even say that it would look like the underbelly of a skinned mammal. That it would be like the inside of a lip. It is the scrape of his teeth on the soft of my arm and how I moaned for days. It is greedy and hungry. I am always hungry. I am always a stomach full of teeth and need. Need, god, I need. Once in the morning and once in the afternoon, sometimes in between. Sometimes I am not a girl, but a slice of desire. Mother, if desperation were human, she would wear my eyes. She would hold my hands. She would take me by the neck and fill me until I was boneless. Later she would write in her diary, today I destroyed a girl and it tasted like wine.”
Azra Tabassum

Yrsa Daley-Ward
“My thoughts about you are frightening but precise. I can see the house on the hill where we grow our own vegetables out back and drink warm wine out of jam jars and sing songs in the kitchen until the sun comes up”
Yrsa Daley-Ward

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“Don't get lost in your pain, know that one day your pain will become your cure.”
Jalaluddin Rumi

“islam. is still in my life.
we are old soulmates.
who could not work out the knots against skin.
who could not believe in each other. while believing in ourselves.
who could not make each other happy. without.
making each other a sadness.
who
were born to each other. and never fell in love.
but
we still sip tea.
share our hands.
touch hearts.
every now and then.”
Nayyirah Waheed, Nejma
