I've never been free in my whole life. Inside I've always chased myself.

Clarice Lispector

[askyea-poesy]

For as long as the sun sets and the moon rises it is you that I want in all of my tomorrows.

Ida Banks

Jorge Luis Borges

[askyea-poesy]

I do not know what so attracted me to him—those who say that certain souls recognise each other instantly and cling to one another inexplicably are right.

Olga Tokarczuk

[askyea-poesy]

Under an onslaught of doubt and fear, the warrior wonders if they're right: that she isn't strong enough, good enough, or brave enough—but then she smiles, remembering all the battles she has already won. So she plants her feet a little more firmly and swings her sword again.

B. Diaz

There will be days when you are certain you are over it. There will be days you feel everything all over again. But no matter the day, there will be songs to listen to. And when you don't feel like singing, there will be rhythms to breathe to, for grace is still at work in you.

Robert Fulghum

[askyea-poesy]

I want to apologize to all the women I have called pretty. Before I’ve called them intelligent or brave. I am sorry I made it sound as though something as simple as what you're born with is the most you have to be proud of when your spirit has crushed mountains from now on I will say things like, you are resilient or, you are extraordinary. Not because I don't think you're pretty. But because you are so much more than that.

Rupi Kaur

[askyea-poesy]

Arouse me mentally so I can feel you spiritually then when we touch physically we'll fall in sync soulfully.

Melody Lee

[askyea-poesy]
