Milk and Honey

by Rupi Kaur

i don’t know what living a balanced life feels like when i am sad i don’t cry i pour when i am happy i don’t smile i glow when i am angry i don’t yell i burn the good thing about feeling in extremes is when i love i give them wings but perhaps that isn’t such a good thing cause they always tend to leave and you should see me when my heart is broken i don’t grieve i shatter

do not bother holding on to that thing that does not want you - you cannot make it stay

who tricked you into believing another person was meant to complete you when the most they can do is complement
