Milkandhoney Quotes

i know it's hard
believe me
i know it feels like
tomorrow will never come 
and today will be the most
difficult day to get through
but i swear you will get through
the hurt will pass
as it always does 
if you give it time and 
let it so let it
go 
slowly
like a broken promise
let it go

loneliness is a sign you are in desperate need of yourself

i am water

soft enough
to offer life
tough enough
to drown it away

you were so distant
i forgot you were there at all

emptying out of my mother's belly
was my first act of disappearance
learning to shrink for a family
who likes their daughters invisible
was the second
the art of being empty
is simple
believe them when they say
you are nothing
repeat it to yourself
like a wish
i am nothing
i am nothing
i am nothing
so often
the only reason you know
you're still alive is from the
heaving of your chest

trying to convince myself
i am allowed
to take up space
is like writing with
my left hand
when i was born
to use my right
