Your daughter is ugly.
She knows loss intimately,
carries whole cities in her belly.As a child, relatives wouldn’t hold her.
She was splintered wood and sea water.
They said she reminded them of the war.On her fifteenth birthday you taught her
how to tie her hair like rope
and smoke it over burning frankincense.You made her gargle rosewater
and while she coughed, said
macaanto girls like you shouldn’t smell
of lonely or empty.You are her mother.
Why did you not warn her,
hold her like a rotting boat
and tell her that men will not love her
if she is covered in continents,
if her teeth are small colonies,
if her stomach is an island,
if her thighs are borders?What man wants to lay down
and watch the world burn
in his bedroom?Your daughter’s face is a small riot,
her hands are a civil war,
a refugee camp behind each ear,
a body littered with ugly things,but God,
doesn’t she wear
the world well.

“you shouldn’t be depressed, people have it worse than you”
finally, after years of searching, the person with the worst life ever is found. formally, they are granted permission to be sad. but only them. only they have earned it. no sads for anyone else at all ever
Insult someone by calling them ignorant, deliberately ill-informed, pig-headed, stubborn…Ignorance is a choice, intelligence… well, it just isn’t. Your capacity to learn, and your access to learning materials, aren’t always under your control, and have nothing to do with your character.
You guys, seriously. It’s SO GOOD.
