“I have survived too much to go quietly.
Let a meteor take me.
Call the thunder for back up.
My death will be grand.
The land will crack,
the sun will eat itself…

-the day I leave.” – Rupi Kuar.

I cried oceans and rivers

Lakes into streams

It didn’t hit me right away when I had to see you leave

The world always seemed to expand and push us to our knees

I may be weak

but you weren’t stronger than me.

– The faith you had in us
