Oh dark night, I taste sweet sorrow on my lips It seems I have been kissed by the jagged edge of brokenness And from its cuts my blood runs clear My joy long lost to the bitterness of fear And now I hear the call of death knocking at my door A raspy tapping I have heard many times before It's apparent hope could only ever have been fleeting For this heart has long since stopped its beating 🖤 #OJTApoetry
I get undressed in front of the man that I’m dating And he asks about the fist sized bruise on my thigh I say it’s called ‘I have a history with violence’ I say it’s called ‘I have a history of silence’ I say it’s called ‘Internalised rage’ I say it’s called ‘My body often feels like a cage’ I say it’s called ‘Here is the mark of my anger’ I say it’s called ‘Here is the sign of despair’ I say it’s called ‘I may never be healed’ I say it’s called ‘Please don’t judge me today’ #OJTApoetry
‘Three simple rules in life: 1. If you do not go after what you want, you’ll never have it. 2. If you do not ask, the answer will always be no. 3. If you do not step forward, you will always be in the same place.’ - Unknown 🌸 #OJTAbedside
‘When you meet that person. A person. One of your soulmates. Let the connection. Relationship be what it is. It may be five minutes, five hours. five days. Five months. Five years. A lifetime. Let it manifest itself, the way it is meant to. It has an organic destiny. This way if it stays or if it leaves, you will be softer from having been loved this authentically. souls come into, return, open, and sweep through your life for a myriad of reasons, let them be who and what they are meant.’ - Nayyirah Waheed 🍂
