It’s you,

it’s always been you.

It took me awhile,

but I’m here.

Come on.

when i am afraid to speak
is when i speak.
that is when it is most important.

- the freedom in fear, nayyirah waheed (via nayyirahwaheed)

(via miguu)

you should save
yourself some time
and
energy.
i don’t argue.
because what you don’t know is
i have ancestors to the right,
left,
below and above me.
i hail from africa, the mother of all human life.
i have love the depths of all oceans combined.
my skin in black.
my eyes are planets.
and
my mouth is a rose machete.
i am magic.
and
now you know.

- you don’t want it with me, nayyirah waheed (via nayyirahwaheed)

(via miguu)

my whole life
i have
ate my tongue.
ate my tongue.
ate my tongue.
i am so full of my tongue
you would think speaking is easy.
but it is not.

- for we who keep our life in our mouths, nayyirah waheed (via nayyirahwaheed)

Is a number I see everywhere.

the number I see the most.

all of the time.

I hear it.

I know.

I thought I knew I was certain I could quit you.
Oh, but of course not!
Because I love you.
Still.

I will find your voice soon.
