Cussing doesn’t come from a lack of vocabulary – I know all the other words. None of them speak the same language that my f*cking heart does.

What I want to know, please, is / what is possible, and what is not. / If it is not, then I am for it. / My heart is out of its flesh-phase. / I am done with all of it, the habits, the patience. / Whoever I was, it is growing hazy and forgettable.

Mary Oliver, from New & Selected Poems; “White Pine: The Garden” (via violentwavesofemotion)

“I am America. I am the part you won’t recognize. But get used to me. Black, confident, cocky, my name, not yours; my religion, not yours; my goals, my own; get used to me.” - Muhammad Ali
