“There is poetry in your shadows.”

Let your heart mend the wounds that your mind doesn’t have the strength to heal.

Poisoned food will look like nourishment to someone who is starving. The same principle applies to abusive relationships.

Stop letting people who don’t know themselves tell you who you are.

You are the freedom you seek.

You have not seen power until you have witnessed a soft thing unleash fire from her eyes.

Let go of what let go of you-make room for what seeks to be held.

Feeling we have nothing to offer others is our heart reminding us how much we have yet to give to ourselves.

I am nothing less than a divine vessel for growth, for love, for healing, for abundance.

Let go of being perfect- find peace in being enough.

The only way to truly feel a woman is to grasp the divinity she stems from.

You are never too “broken” to heal. You are never too far gone to come back to yourself.

You are so much more resilient than allowing people to suppress your truest expression of self.

Don’t let them take a piece of you when they leave.

You can’t heal a wound that you are actively pretending doesn’t exist.

Losing you meant meeting myself again.

The trust you have in others only extends as far as the trust you have for yourself.

When it comes to atoms, language can be used only as in poetry. The poet, too, is not nearly so concerned with describing facts as with creating images and establishing mental connections.

I don’t even have to read between my own line, the poetry speaks so loud and a little too clear.

I am no poet, but if you think for yourselves, as I proceed, the facts will form a poem in your minds.

A language is something infinitely greater than grammar and philology. It is the poetic testament of the genius of a race and a culture, and the living embodiment of the thoughts and fancies that have moulded them.

Poetry and language are often at the heartbeat of movements for change.

Poetry is interesting because not everyone is going to become a great poet, but anyone can be, and anyone can enjoy poetry, and it’s this openness, this accessibility of poetry that makes it the language of people.

When you are learning through poetry how to speak English, it lends to a great understanding of sound, of pitch, of pronunciation, so I think of my speech impediment not as a weakness or a disability, but as one of my greatest strengths.

I have to interweave my poetry with purpose. For me, that purpose is to help people, and to shed a light on issues that have far too long been in the darkness.
