you came in slowly like the fogand consumed me.

let the stars inside you breathe,before the darkness swallows them whole.let them burn through your skin and light thiswhole goddamn world on fire.

i am a womanand i am alone,and i cannot tellwhich one of the twoi love being more.

the woman is rain,and when she falls,she is a monsoon.to love her is to drown.

i am like the moon--sometimes, full.sometimes, black.sometimes,forever and ever alone.

my strength should not threaten you.my strength is not a threat to your strength.you are strong.you are beautiful.you are lush.you are powerful.as you are.as i am.imagine the force we would be togetherif we lifted each other up.imagine the force we would be togetherif we didn't tear each other down.

you're going to love your way out of this.out of the hurt.out of the pain.you're going to love your way out of itand be free.

love yourself first,and you will always be in love.

remember you are capable of the most powerful thing in the universe.you are capable of love.
