Sad Girl Poems Quotes

“I always wanted to be a sad white girl. I wanted to be sad like Lana Del Rey. I wanted a sadness so universal, it'd move everyone to tears. A sadness everyone could related to. "I want a summertime, summertime sadness".
My sadness is about domestic violence, homelessness, gender dysphoria, intergenerational trauma passed down from Salvdorean Civil War, etc, etc.
My sadness is something to observe, consume, sympathize, but NOT EMPATHAZE WITH (not to mobilize for). Most people do not know how to interact with my sadness. My sadness is so multifaceted, it speaks twenty languages.”

“I WONDER IT HEAVEN GOT A GAY GHETTO

Lorde know(s) cis-hets don`t like me
Baldwin know(s) how white homos exoticize me
I hope heaven got a gay ghetto
Where my QPOC family don`t feel shame
Don`t feel too brown or black
Or femme or phat
Don`t get shame for being free
Don`t get lonely, don`t get sa(i)d
You know, he`s gunna meet white jesus
Shiet, he probably already got a picure
with white jesus
signed and framed on his wall

Mother Mary // Virgin Mother // fucker”

“Language is where the tongue fails itself over & over again.”

“Rory, I want to say that death is what you've always wanted. But that can't be the Truth. [This time] we can blame it on me. I'll be the packing mule, carry all the burden. & you, you can be a child again; fold your church hands like dirty laundry [crease them tight]. Nobody has to know about us, not my father
nor yours --
No, not even God”
