“i know what it means
to have a heart
that would drown itself
for others
before the need
to surface for air”
― Danielle Doby, I Am Her Tribe

“my hope for you
is that you greet your reflection with kind eyes.
that you never look to someone else for your belonging.
always moving from a space of worthiness,
longing for nothing of addition or subtraction.”
― Danielle Doby, I Am Her Tribe

“i reach for the glass
open my mouth
and try to drown
their memory
from the inside out”
― Danielle Doby, I Am Her Tribe

“sometimes it's years later
you're standing there
when your jaw softens
and you realize
you're no longer the same
as when you first walked in”
― Danielle Doby, I Am Her Tribe
