Have you see this poem
floating around facebook
in recent days:

“later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered
where does it hurt?

it answered
everywhere
everywhere
everywhere.”

Warsan Shire wrote that...and if that isn't enough for you...
go and watch this...

***** "For Women Who Are Difficult to Love" - written and performed by Warsan Shire You are a horse running alone and he tries to tame you compares you to an impossible highway to a burning house says you are blinding him that he could never leave you forget you want anything but you you dizzy him, you are unbearable every woman before or after you is doused in your name you fill his mouth his teeth ache with memory of taste his body just a long shadow seeking yours but you are always too intense frightening in the way you want him unashamed and sacrificial he tells you that no man can live up to the one who lives in your head and you tried to change didn’t you? closed your mouth more tried to be softer prettier less volatile, less awake but even when sleeping you could feel him travelling away from you in his dreams so what did you want to do love split his head open? you can’t make homes out of human beings someone should have already told you that and if he wants to leave then let him leave you are terrifying and strange and beautiful something not everyone knows how to love. **** Director, Producer : Andrea Cortes-Juarbe & Christine Mehr Editor: Christine Mehr Co-Editor: Andrea Cortes-Juarbe Special thanks - Lauren Stanton, Sara'o Bery, Ada Pinkston, Isa Nakazawa Audio mashed by Christine Mehr Instrumental track - Zoe Keating's "Sun Will Set."
