“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 have survived too much to go quietly.

I apologize to myself for ever thinking
that I had to apologize to anyone
for being who I am.
For speaking up when I am wronged,
for being selfish sometimes,
for wanting better for myself,
or for loving hard..

I’m sorry you couldn’t handle my love.
