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.

show me all the parts of youthat you do not loveso i know where to begin.

love is my thighs,this belly,my eyes.love is my speech,the search,my cry.love is myself in the mirror.i will see love every time.

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.

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.

i sometimes think i'm too in love with alone.who could i love more than this peace?

woman--another word for beginning.another word for revolution.another word for healing.another word for being.another word for me.

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