The Devil Judge

I don't need you to understand, but you need to make a decision.
Will you stand in my way... or stand on my side?

For your information, I don't hesitate when it comes to getting rid 

of those who stand in my way,

"Damn, Girl" by Gloria B.

Vanity is only a sin 
because a woman 

who believes she deserves good things 
is harder to commodify.

"You Better Be Lightening" by Andrea Gibson

I know most people try hard 

to do good and find out too late
they should have tried softer.

Every day of my life

I have disqualified myself from any number of things at which I might excel only because I’ve been convinced fat people aren’t allowed, and I’m fat. Who would I be if I could more often dismiss that lie? What betterment might exist in the world if we all stopped spreading the lie that fat people are less than?

"Into The Water" by Paula Hawkins

Part of me wanted to have a conversation with you, but not before you told me that you were sorry, not before you begged for my forgiveness. But your apology never came, and I’m still waiting.

alhwrites

you are the most permanent thing in your life. always. that won’t change. ever. so put you first. prioritize you. choose you. you, you, you. your needs, your wants, your dreams, your feelings, your happiness, your peace. never sacrifice any of that, and do not spend your entire life treating people who might be temporary better than you treat yourself.

"A Little Life" by Hanya Yanagihara

Why wasn't friendship as good as a relationship? Why wasn't it even better? It was two people who remained together, day after day, bound not by sex or physical attraction or money or children or property, but only by the shared agreement to keep going, the mutual dedication to a union that could never be codified.

Don’t allow others to consume you. 

If they don’t call, go to sleep. 

If they don’t message you, put away your phone & have a good day. 

If they are distant and refuse to tell you what’s wrong, go home and do something fun. 

You live for yourself first. 

They are secondary.

Cree Indian Proverb

When the last tree has been cut down,
the last fish caught,
the last river poisoned,
only then will we realize
we cannot eat money.

Christopher Poindexter

i'll throw
my
voice into
the stars and maybe
the echo of my words will
be written for you
in the clouds by
sunrise.
all i am trying
to say is,

I will love you
through the darkness.

"The Penelopiad" by Margaret Atwood

Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can't go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does.

"Vows (for a gay wedding)" by Joseph O. Legaspi

I vow to love you in primal ways. 

I vow to love you in infinite forms. 

In our separateness and composites. 

To dust and stars and the ever after.

"The Guest" by Anna Akhmatova

I asked: "What do you want?"

He replied: "To be with you in Hell."

I laughed: "Oh, you'll foredoom
Us both to disaster."

Not a single muscle quivered
On his radiantly evil face.

The Yin-Yang Master: Dream Of Eternity, 2021

Names are the shortest spells 
in the world.

Victor Hugo

Es gibt weder schlechtes Kraut
noch schlechte Menschen.
Es gibt nur schlechte Bauern.

Erin McKean

You don't owe prettiness to anyone. Not to your boyfriend/spouse/partner, not to your co-workers, especially not to random men on the street. You don't owe it to your mother, you don't owe it to your children, you don't it to civilization in general. Prettiness is not a rent you pay for occupying a space marked 'female'.

"Tear In My Heart" by twenty one pilots

The songs on the radio are okay
but my taste in music is your face

"Not All Men" by Morgan St. Jean

Have you ever

Felt like you were beaten, but they left no bruises? 

If you tell the truth, they say his life is ruined 

Well, I have

"Song of Myself, 51" by Walt Whitman

Do I contradict myself? 

Very well then I contradict myself, 

(I am large, I contain multitudes.)

"Daily bread" by Maison Hefner

importing cocaine

into the nose of the pope 

I replied

when the priest 

asked me

what I do

for a living. 

Haruki Murakami, 1Q84

Everyone, deep in their hearts, is waiting for the end of the world to come

Doom at Your Service

Not knowing how to cry 

has been a habit of mine for a long time. 

May the bridges

I burn

light the way.

"Alles ist jetzt" von Bosse

Ich hab' gelernt das Leben zu genießen
Meine Freunde wie Blumen zu gießen
Ich hab' gelernt das Feuer zu schüren
Den Zauber nicht zu verlieren
Ich hab' gelernt der erste Blick täuscht
Und, dass es gut ist, wenn man sich verläuft
Ich hab' gelernt auch wenn's mies ist
Geht die Sonne trotzdem auf
[...]
Ich hab' gelernt es gibt viele dumme Menschen
Die ihren Hass weitergeben, so entstehen Grenzen
Ich hab' gelernt der Mut, den man gibt
Ist Liebe, die man kriegt
Ich hab' gelernt ich will kein Nimmermehr
Weiter, geiler brauch' ich nicht mehr
Ich hab' gelernt zu feiern
Und zu schätzen was ich hab'
[...]
Und das, was du träumst musst du machen, einfach machen
All die besten, super Sachen
Alles ist jetzt
