The bodies of my melancholy tears Slip out of my blurry eyes and Slide downward on my face. My hope gave out Without my thinking. My strife was beating My heart to death....

“i want to apologize to all the women i have called beautiful<br /> before i’ve called them intelligent or brave<br /> i am sorry i made it sound as though<br /> something as simple as what you’re born with<br /> is all you have to be proud of<br /> when you have broken mountains with your wit <br /> from now on i will say things like<br /> you are resilient, or you are extraordinary<br /> not because i don’t think you’re beautiful<br /> but because i need you to know<br /> you are more than that” <br /> ― rupi kaur
