Body Love Letter (Rupi Kaur Tribute)
Dear Body,
Thank you for giving me a body that is only mine
And no one else’s. You are taught to be skinny
Or curvy because there is no place in between.
Why should it ever be a boy or man to intertwine
With to make your soul more whole? It is a pity
To be taught you need a man’s love to be a queen.
You are no one’s pit stop or someone’s temporary
Home. Thank you for your kindness and for carrying
Life into tomorrow as well as for many years to follow.
You deserve a multitude of rest when you...
Thank you for giving me a body that is only mine

To be taught you need a man’s love to be a queen.
You are no one’s pit stop or someone’s temporary
Home. Thank you for your kindness and for carrying
Life into tomorrow as well as for many years to follow.
You deserve a multitude of rest when you...

they come and go
i am stuck in this strange world
of having to grow
pains come and go
like sunflowers open and close
sprung into life by an ever-present sun
willing me on
but i’m not really stuck
it’s just a phase
though I’m afraid
one phase leads to another
and to the next
and so
i simply walk prepared for the pains
to come and go

Failings in love
When he failed you the first and the second
you were forgiving
When he failed you the third and the fourth
you were in love
When he failed you the next and again
you were unconditional
you were forgiving
When he failed you the third and the fourth
you were in love
When he failed you the next and again
you were unconditional

Pain # Rupi Kaur
My pain it paints a hue
Each stroke my beings canvas
Graffiti spray and wreckage
That is, life drawing classes
Each stroke my beings canvas
Graffiti spray and wreckage
That is, life drawing classes

Competition Piece : Classic Corner Tribute - Rupi Kaur pt. II
for the girl with the lovely curves and all the insecurities
you are a beautiful miracle
for the girl with the scar-covered wrists
you are good enough
for the girl who loves too deeply even when they're not deserving
you deserve so much more
for the girl who flinches at her own reflection in the mirror
look a little closer
for the girl about to throw herself into the darkness
open the blinds, let in the sun
for the girl who goes to sleep each night hoping for a brighter tomorrow
you are not alone
-...

Competition Piece : Classic Corner Tribute - Rupi Kaur
i wonder if roses experience
growing pains
do their thorns cause them such agony
they think of giving up?
but then again
how can a thing of such beauty
ever grow without
a little effort?
- the rose and her thorns

Open your heart (to do list: after the breakup)
( after Rupi Kaur )
Are you a true friend to a friend, my friend.
Have you a gift you’d take all the way there?
It will travel in the small of your hand
Where he had placed it from the north star’s shine.
In the cold of night, and the heat of day,
For a hundred miles, for five hundred miles,
For a thousand miles, for two thousand miles
To keep its clear promise all the way there?
When you arrive at last what will you say,
When you arrive at last what will you do?
Don’t say too much before they...
Are you a true friend to a friend, my friend.
Have you a gift you’d take all the way there?
It will travel in the small of your hand
Where he had placed it from the north star’s shine.
In the cold of night, and the heat of day,
For a hundred miles, for five hundred miles,
For a thousand miles, for two thousand miles
To keep its clear promise all the way there?
When you arrive at last what will you say,
When you arrive at last what will you do?
Don’t say too much before they...
