our dreams draw blood from old sores.

And this is for Colored girls who have considered suicide, but are moving to the ends of their own rainbows.

in our ordinaryness we are most bizarre.

When I die, I will no be guilty of having left a generation of girls behind thinking that anyone can tend to their emotional health other than themselves.

I'm a firm believer that language and how we use language determines how we act, and how we act then determines our lives and other people's lives.

i found god in myself and i loved her i loved her fiercely

Right now being born a girl is to be born threatened.
