This week has been dedicated to Domestic Violence Awareness so in support I went to an on-campus event called "Take Back the Night". This event featured Jinahie, a 19 year old Egyptian-American spoken word poet. Her poetry has inspired me to start to write uncensored and unafraid. There is beauty in writing when it is raw and when it is real...I will no longer hide from the night...so as the sun sets and as I stare beyond the skyline...I will write until my heart is content...until only my hand aches and my heart is healed...
I love what writing gives to me...peace.
To all those victims of domestic violence, of rape, of sexual abuse...I pray for you...I pray that one day you can take back the night...that you will live unafraid and that your heart will be healed.
