If pain is my destiny
I shall mix blood with water and make it into art that lasts an infinity
If grief is my burden in this lifetime
I shall continue to mourn, with no apology
If getting married is not going to happen for me
I shall sculpt a different kind of love that works for me
If being a mother is not going to come naturally
I shall be a mother anyways, a mother to many
If leaving you is the only way to break free
I shall do it anyway, even if the heartbreak is another mountain I must journey
Pre-order your copy of child of the moon my first illustrated book of poetry:
about child of the moon:
in between being your mother and father
i forgot to be your daughter
and became the child of the moon
inspired by the author’s traumatic childhood experiences and set against the backdrop of the lebanese civil war, child of the moon is a powerful collection of poetry reflecting on fear, shame, despair, suicide, and the unconditional love that leads to healing.
