“Can we just pretend we are wanted?”

Nothing worth keeping has ever wanted me back.

Are you native to the land you are spilling blood on?

My love language is saying no and having them listen to me.

Sometimes the thing that destroys you also kisses you on the forehead.

If home is where the heart is, then I don’t know where to go.

As you buy tampons you will be hit with the realization that you’re still paying in blood.

She spends an eternity as shelter for men who curse her when the storm passes.

When a black girl dies; the last thing to decompose is her heart.

Alone is the safest I have ever felt.

These hands keep a score of everything.

I poured myself from an empty cup but you weren’t even thirsty.

Brown girls are not band aids for your pain.

I am just a bunch of bad decisions glued together.

You look most like your father when you smile. It’s your ultimate betrayal.

You are a multiple choice exam and I have circled all the wrong answers.

Heaven is not something you need to die to get to.

People need to start to think about the messages that they send in the movies.

We need to respond to the messages we get as much as we need to send our own.

You don’t have to feel the need to put somebody down to make yourself feel better.

You have everything you need for complete peace and total happiness right now.

What everyone wants from life is continuous and genuine happiness.

In study, like in sport, to win you need determination, commitment, and preparation.

A man needs his rest.

Thank you for the tragedy. I need it for my art.
