There are some stirring words spoken in voice over by Beyonce Knowles in her knew visual album, Lemonade, but not all of those words are hers. Some of the most poignant and poet thoughts come from the poetry of Warsan Shire, who wrote the poem, "For Women Who Are Difficult To Love". Shire collaborated with Knowles to include some of her poetry as backdrop for the music. Shire said it seemed only natural to collaborate with a musician since she regularly writes poetry while listening to music. One of the lines of poetry in the Intuition portion of the video reads, ""I tried to make a home out of you, but doors lead to trap doors, a stairway leads to nothing. Unknown women wander the hallways at night. Where do you go when you go quiet?" The popularity of Lemonade has increased the visibility of the young poet from Somalia. Her first book of poetry, ""Teaching My Mother How to Give Birth," was released in 2011 and shares insight into the themes of love, family, and a sense of belonging.
