“You like my mystery. My swinging shadow, my smoky reflection. I turn around with my reality and you run in the other direction.”

“They said it was my head wound
But I died from a broken heart.”

“Make art. Write poetry. Dance more. Dress up. Walk naked. Shout and sing whenever you want to. Write letters. Look at the sky. Take off your shoes.”

“Life is expensive. Sometimes your experiences cost more than you have to spend.”

“I ate my feelings for breakfast and left you to starve.”

“Birds have no idea what they mean to us. No idea of the books, paintings, songs, poems in which they are honored.Maybe that’s why they can fly.”

“If I hate you or love you, you will know it.”

“Let yourself be obsessed.”

“You’re full of shit
You know it
I know it
The lady down the street knows it

You smell like it
You act like it
You’re lucky you don’t look like it

Brimming over, that’s what you are.
Smell you near, smell you far.

And the reason I stay?

Well…
I’m full of shit too.”

- Nicole Fortuin
