She Is a Haunting

by Trang Thanh Tran

To the angry girls, to the ones figuring it out:you are always enough

“Just because you feel lucky to be alive and fed doesn’t mean you can’t be angry.”

I’m lost for words over the million little ways we can still hurt for family we hardly know.

They teach us boys want and girls are the ones who are wanted, but what about people like me? Quietly burning in want and to be wanted.

Everyone is someone you owe something to or who owes you from a previous life.
