I write for myself

I write for my self

I write to the future

I write against white supremacy

I write to honor those who have written before me

I write because I must

I write because my silence will not save me

I write to inspire

I write to name the unnamed

I write because it soothes me

I write because it flows

I write because I have been silenced

I write to encourage the silenced

I write for the diaspora

I write for the children

I write to destroy ableism

I write to be moved

I write for my feelings

I write to be soothed

I write to the moon

I write to you
