- Where do all the memories go, the ones we hide away with lock & key yet continue to shape us all the same? - Did it really happen if I can't remember it?
- There were some secrets that threatened to chip away at my porcelain pieces but felt necessary to keep myself whole. - I didn't know anything.
- silence has always been my loudest scream.
- I'm not scared of the monsters hidden underneath my bed. I'm much more scared of the boys with messy brown hair, sleepy eyes, and mouths that only know how to form half-truths. - my dragons.
- He promised to fix me & he left me more shattered than I had been before. - but now I've got gold in the cracks.
- So many hours, days, months, years of my life were wasted making sure I was hollow. I'm terrified down to my very roots that there are parts of myself that can never be filled. - sometimes I think it would be better if someone cut the whole tree down & started anew.
- If I could go back in time & give myself her childhood back, I would. - what was the point?
- Who would I have been without the inspiration behind my demons? - probably not a poet.
- I am caught between mourning you & thinking your death saved me. - will you ever be able to forgive me?
- When I see your light pieces with my dark pieces, I begin to understand why they say opposites attract. - chiaroscuro
- I am so sorry for all the times the darkling, dragon, demon living inside my darkest corners came roaring out, flames ready, hell-bend on extinguishing all the light in you. - please don't leave.
- They say they only want flowers to grow from my mouth, so I will look them dead in the eye as I shove soft petals past my lips, chew with my jaw completely unhinged, & spit them down at their feet. - i will never be your expectations of me.
- I will take the blood-tipped thorns they stuck in you & from them I will teach you how to weave together the crown you deserve. - you are stronger than I will ever know.
- There is not enough rainwater in all the skies to rinse the innocent blood from your hands. - their lives will always matter.
- Just because they don't hit you doesn't mean it isn't abuse. Wouldn't you think it a crime to look up at the night sky & tell the stars that they have no sparkle? Guess what? You shine brighter than all the starlight there has ever been or ever will be. - emotional abuse is still abuse.
- Be wary of the boys who only ever tell half-truths because they will only ever be half in love with you. - slay those dragons.
- They burn to kill, but you burn to survive. (-may they never underestimate you again.)
