The other day I stumbled across poet and author Nayyirah Waheed’s work and it is so beautiful I almost wanted to cry. Below are a few of my favorites if you’d like to read:
be easy.
take your time.
you are coming
home.
to yourself.
-“The Becoming/Wings”
there
are
feelings,
you haven’t felt yet.
give them time.
they are almost here.
-“Fresh”
my
mother
was
my first country.
the first place I ever lived.
-“Lands”
i knew you.
before I met you.
i’ve known you my whole life.
-“Nafsi”
all the women.
in me.
are tired.
-Waheed
What do you think? Are you a fan? I sure am 🙂
