I Fell Into Shame Like A Suicide

I Need You To Do More Than Survive. As Writers, As Revolutionaries, Tell The Truth, Your Truth In Your Own Way. Do Not Buy Into Their System Of Censorship, Imagining That If You Drop This Character Or Hide That Emotion, You Can Slide Through Their Blockades. Do Not Eat Your Heart Out In The Hope Of Pleasing Them.

That Was What Gospel Was Meant To Do - Make You Hate And Love Yourself At The Same Time, Make You Ashamed And Glorified.

And While It Is True That I Got The Best Woman In The World, I Don't Think Love Saves You.

Writing Is The Only Way I Know To Demand Justice From An Uncaring Universe.

Women Lose Their Lives Not Knowing They Can Do Something Different...i Claimed Myself And Remade My Life. Only When I Knew I Belonged To Myself Completely Did I Become Capable Of Giving Myself To Another, Of Finding Joy In Desire, Pleasure In Our Love, Power In This Body No One Else Owns.
