Darling Girl
One day I hope you will wake up to be.
Instead of being what you think they should see.
Never hide the gifts that make you special in an effort to fit in,
For any world where the cost to live is conformity is not a place you will find your happiness.
Existence is not enough; it’s a coward’s wasted opportunity.
Without finding true joy and purpose, you may as well be a character in someone else’s story.
Be brave enough to be the woman you are.
Skinwalker
You shouldn’t have hoped that one would see who you are.
They only see what you show them. Thank the Gods for that.
The different don’t belong.
You don’t belong.
You wouldn’t be able to control your hunger.
You’d lose yourself.
They’d judge.
You’d regret.
Regret is such an awful pain, it follows so closely.
It’s always nipping at your heels, tempting you to kick at it so it can justify the bite.
Can’t it just leave you to your loneliness for a moment?
Has pain no respect for pain?
