a void of anger and grudge
that can only be filled
with the tears of the people that did me wrong

you really do not want to provoke me these days. i’ll break you until there is nothing left.
Mahmoud Darwish, from "Mural", Unfortunately, It Was Paradise: Selected Poems (tr. by Munir Akash & Carolyn Forché)

“I have pasts inside me I did not bury properly.”

In the end, I learned how to be strong, and alone.
i don't pay attention to the world ending. it has ended for me many times and began again in the morning.
