Warsan Shire

Warsan Shire
“You want me to be a tragic backdrop so that you can appear to be illuminated, so that people can say ‘Wow, isn’t he so terribly brave to love a girl who is so obviously sad?’ You think I’ll be the dark sky so you can be the star? I’ll swallow you whole.”
Warsan Shire

Warsan Shire
“I have my mother’s mouth and my father’s eyes; on my face they are
still together.”
Warsan Shire
