As you pulled away, it felt like a part of me was leaving with you. I’ve become too dependent on your love Or maybe not dependent enough. Panic burned my chest. My breath become shorter. I started to hyperventilate. My tears stung my eyes. My trust is beginning to waver. But my love holds on.…

I carry the weight of my ancestors in my bones. Those in saris and those in chains. Change. ChaiNs. They are calling my name. In this day and age. Who knew there was such a thing as a modern day slave?
