"The beauty of choice is that it's a double-edged sword — just like water, it helps us live and also decimates us."
The Becoming Archive
Poems of defiance, growth, and the long arc of change
[Intro prose to be written by the poet. This is a placeholder — edit this section in your own words.]
These poems are not finished. Neither are the people they describe. That is the point. Becoming is not a destination — it is the condition of being alive and paying attention to it.
Some of these were written out of rage. Some out of hope. Several out of both at once. They share a refusal to accept that things cannot be otherwise than they are.
This is the archive of everyone who is still in the middle of it.

"It is the patriarchal society that has inadvertently made her — the fiery, resilient, and indestructible woman."

"When it's about love, why hate it — is it a sin to just love? Love and let others love."
Making Humanity Great Again
"Such is the power of a soul that for every misogynistic khal it births an even stronger Khaleesi."
She Called Me Her Own
"She isn't a city, she is a vast ocean of openness and belonging, taking us in one and all."
