what they did yesterday afternoon by warsan shire
they set my aunts house on fire
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?
I have thrown my body around like an old excuse
I have thrown my heart out like a kite
like rice confetti
like milk teeth behind me
like salt behind me
I have thrown away all of my pride
I have thrown all of my prayers into the deep
well of your mouth.
You catch me,
you’ve caught me
honey
I have nothing left.
These are my adventure themed feet. They’re almost healed. I love them so much, mostly because I designed them. I don’t like change very much but one kind of change I love is a change of scenery. I have always been an incredibly adventurous person and I love going places, taking train rides and road trips. Even if it’s to a place that people this is really boring, I will probably love it! I have to see the world, I think of traveling the world almost every day. There are so many places I’d like to go. “Adventure is out there” is the known quote from the movie “Up” but it took me a few weeks to come up with “let the journey begin”. Despite the agonizing pain I was in for 3 hours, it was incredibly worth it!
