  • Menna Abu Zahrahas quoted4 years ago
    This life is such a heaven I forget to notice.
  • Menna Abu Zahrahas quoted4 years ago
    If I could tell my younger self anything
    about this life: we do so much more
    than just survive it.
  • Menna Abu Zahrahas quoted4 years ago
    with its full kitchen its full bookshelves,
    sharing my bed with the kind of love
    I used to close my eyes and wish for.
  • Menna Abu Zahrahas quoted4 years ago
    . I didn’t plan to bitch
    about a kind of life I once believed impossible,
    to trudge through the rain back to my home
  • Menna Abu Zahrahas quoted4 years ago
    I’m still here. I know this because it hurts
    and I’m so grateful. I didn’t plan to be alive
    this long. I didn’t plan to eat good food I bought
    with poems.
