• I’m not going to love anymore

• Power

  I knew a powerful man The most powerful man in his small town He had dreams of conquering the world In fact he conquered the heart of everyone he met He was so strong everyone listened to him He always got his way He overruled all my feelings and hopes But underneath power is fear…

• Social fabric

  My society My connection to other people My universe of love Is always smaller and more fragile than a man’s So I never worry what a man needs from me I never try to stay connected I never try to mend the social fabric for a man I’m here to break love not make love…

  Is crying beautiful Is it therapeutic Is it? Or is it just chaos Free falling From one place to another In transition in limbo Is there no world that can capture my pain Is there no sanity

• On being a feminist

  Imagine a slave trying to outrun their master On days when it’s good they’re free On days when it’s bad, it’s very bad You get extra punishment for trying to escape Even your friends are scared and they don’t come to your aid But even on the worst days, it’s progress And I’d choose the…

• Little Haiti

  I was in little Haiti which is probably the worst neighbourhood in Miami and I booked a cheap hotel by accident not knowing how bad the neighbourhood was. The hostel itself was decent for the price and people moved with an eerie but harmless quiet. I shared a room with a girl that told me…
