"Ultimately: violence is what is necessary to kill what has corrupted you, what has lessened you, what refused to defend you when you were abused, what refused to protect you when you needed it. Violence is necessary to eradicate harmful beliefs that have laced into our existences and familial patterns of behavior. Much of the sickness of the world isn’t directly our fault, but it is causing many of us to die." -P.A. Williams

Maybe your "first love" wasn't your first love. Maybe it was your first attachment. Attachment is about dependency and what others can give you because you're empty. Love is about what you can give others because you're already full. Some goodbyes are not ends, but releases.

Maya Angelou once shared a powerful insight that resonates deeply within the hearts of many. She highlighted the profound pain that comes from keeping our stories, our truths, untold. Each of us carries a unique narrative, filled with dreams, struggles, triumphs, and lessons. Yet, the fear of judgment, misunderstanding, or vulnerability often silences our voices. But imagine the liberation, the sheer relief of setting your story free. Imagine the bonds that could be forged, the understanding and empathy that could spread like wildfire. Your story has the power to inspire, to heal, to change perspectives, and perhaps even the world. Let's not let fear hold us back. The stories we carry are not just for us but for everyone who finds a piece of themselves in our words. Let's embrace the courage to share, to be seen, to be heard. Because in sharing our stories, we find our freedom.

You fell in love with a storm. Did you really think you would get out unscathed?

I hate the smell of artificial jasmine, I was born in a country that bred the authentic ones. Unlike my mother I never wore them on my hair because it made me feel vulnerable like a little girl imitating womanhood even though I am a fully grown woman myself. I was raised in a generation that was unforgiving of femininity. Can you imagine little girls being mocked and ridiculed for being too girly? Ironic. Only pretty girls could afford to be feminine, the rest of us had to display brain or brawn so we could be identified by anything other than our reflections.

Pretty girls have their doors opened for them, it was fine when it was just car doors and house doors and restaurant doors but it hurt when it turned into doors that led to rooms of opportunity and power. Because all those years of building brain and brawn had to lead to some kind of pinnacle right? Too much time and too much effort was already put in to not see it through. Because boys can afford to be good at things but girls had to be exceptional in order for their households to not swallow them whole. Some of them did deserve it though while some of their calibres did not even reach my ankles, my petty arrows aimed at their fair and lovely foreheads for a long time until I realised power is not in the hands of who entered the room, it is in the hands of the one holding the door open.

Beauty and the chokehold it has. A man’s lustful eyes could never see the tricks it plays to get what it wants. My envy became respect. They played well with the cards in their hands, didn’t they? Who is to say, if I were dealt the hand, I wouldn’t do the same?

I hate the smell of artificial jasmine, I was born in a country that bred authentic ones. Pitiful how all the Kings men and all the Kings horses could not bottle one petal of one flower for their Queen. So she grew herself an entire garden. Then you look at the dirt under her nails with disgust? Can you imagine women being mocked and ridiculed for not being woman enough? Ironic.

Amrin Khalil, @amrinkhalikpoetry “artificial jasmine”
