“It’s okay if you’re burning with anger or sadness or both it is necessary for you to collapse
so you can learn
how phoenixes are
reborn
when they burn and rise again
from the ashes of
their existence”— Noor Unnahar (via help-n-quotes)
God does not live / in church. She made you her kingdom. Of course / she lives in you
For the great violences hidden inside women
For the women hidden inside great violences
Vanessa Angélica Villarreal, from “Tropical Depression,” published in The Wanderer (via lifeinpoetry)
Never could I be a girl on her knees
I was a storm of a woman
transformed with red light
heaving an imperious voice
forward into the dimness
— Chase Berggrun, from “CHAPTER III,“ R E D, published in Lambda Literary
Godhood is just
like girlhood:
a begging to be believed.
Kristin Chang, from “Churching,” published in Up the Staircase Quarterly (via lifeinpoetry)
It’s okay
if you’re burning
with anger
or sadness
or both
it is necessary
for you to collapse
so you can learn

their existence
Noor Unnahar (via help-n-quotes)
god, give the girl fire.
give her a violet life.
make her delirious in love.
wild in the face of fear.god, give the girl a better beginning.
give her a taste of the sun.
flood her sky with birds.
build her body from the salt water.god, give the girl a universe in her name.
give her hands that know forgiveness.
let her know the grace of wings.
forget the thorns in her side.god, give the girl a sanctuary in the sky.
GIRL’S DESIRES, angelea l. (via wildfairy)
She’s intimidating and brooding
And she scares people away, because
She’s not made of sugar and spice and everything nice.
But rather fire and lightening and everything frightening.People see the smoldering flames
And the raging winds
And they think that she’s strong.
They think that she’s powerful.
But really, she just tends to burn herself down.
