Rupi Kaur

if you were born with
the weakness to fall
you were born with
the strengh to rise



you treat them as if
they have a heart like yours
but not every one can be
as soft and as tender as you
you don’t see
the person they are
you see the person
they have the potential to be
you give and give till
they have taken everything
out of you and leave
you empty



your name is
the strongest
positive and negative
connotation in any leanguage
it lights me up or
leaves me aching for days

what is stronger
than the human heart
which shatters over and over
and still lives

let it go
let it leave
let it happen
nothing
in this world
was promised or
belonged to you
anyway

all you own is yourself



i will alaways be scared i am
not beautiful enough for you
or if i am beautiful at all
i will change what i’m
wearing five times before i
see you wondering which pair
of jeans will make my body
more tempting to undess
tell me
is there anything i can do
to make you thing , her
she is so striking she makes
my body forghet it has knees
write it in a letter and address it
to all the insecure parts of me
my uneven fingers my thin legs
your voive alone drives me to tears
yours telling me i am beautiful
yours telling me i am enough



i don’t know what living a balanced life fells
like
when i am sad
i don’t cry, i pour
when i am happy
i don’t smile, i beam
when i am angry
i don’t yell, i burn
the good thing about
feeling in extremes
is when i love
i give them wings
but perhaps
that isn’t
such a good thing
couse they always
tend to leave and
you should see me
when my heart is broken
i don’t grieve
i shatter
