Beware the broken girls.
They've learned how to survive with shards of glass under their skin.
They're glittering, sharp and beautiful -
And they will watch you bleed.
Mind the thorns, darling - c.k
I used to be soft.
I used to be gossamer and silk,
Until it was all torn away
And I was abandoned and alone.
I used to be broken.
I used to be shards of iron and ice,
A whirlwind of broken glass,
Until I learned to be more.
Now I light up the night sky.
Beauty fighting against the darkness,
Fire and lightning mistaken for nothing more than a pretty picture,
But I'll burn you alive
And look damn good doing it
I earned my place in the stars - c.k
We are the flower crown girls,
Small, soft, and smiling.
We dance to the music,
And watch the sun set.
We glow like fireflies and are just as fragile,
We're beautiful like the first buds of spring.
Our warpaint is flowing dresses and pink lipstick;
Our weapons, laughter and open hearts,
And you cannot take that from us.
Our sisters are warriors, but the world will not make us victims - c.k
Give me your maelstrom girls.
Your women with hurricanes in their hearts and tsunamis in their souls.
Give me girls whose mouths spit poison and never smile on command.
Give me the ones that burn too hot and bright,
and let them go to war.
Let them save their sisters who still wear the flower crowns,
and don't yet have a taste for violence.
black holes are only as strong as their stars burned bright - c.k
Happy Birthday,Cayla! I hope it's been as bright and lovely as you always are.
thank you so much phi!
I don't want to be overly done, but. Phoenix. Though you burn, you rise again. And again. And again. Your fire is not your end. Nor are your ashes. But another beginning.
this is lovely.
i see you as some celestial being whose name has been lost in time, but not the stories she’s passed on. beloved and revered by all who gaze upon her, though sometimes the light may dim, for she cannot see herself, just the ugliness of the world below.
what mythical creature would i be?
Shows up to the trend two years late with new glasses
My heart was destroyed long ago.
It's ruined,
mangled beyond repair,
weighing heavily beneath my ribs.
But you...
You took it out,
patched it up,
and gave it back to me.
my heart is my own now, and i want you to have it - c.k
You wish on falling stars,
but do you ever stop and wonder what they wish for?
do they mourn their fall? - c.k
The seas are wide,
the oceans are deep,
and demons lurk in the waters that separate us.
But nothing compares to the monster I will become,
if the world does not give you back to me
you don’t know fear until you know me - c.k
A little fuzzy but I never take mirror selfies because I'm insecure about how I look
When you're downing under homework but your hair look great
My world is silence -
I prefer it that way.
Easier not to hear the roaring crowd,
my brother's cold laugh,
the sobs that build in my chest.
Easier to ignore the trainer's bark,
the harsh words,
orders that mean death every time.
Easier to block out the snick! of a loosed arrow,
the begging and threatening,
and the rattle as they breathe their last.
***
My world is nerveless -
I prefer it that way.
Easier not to feel the hand son my skin
the fear that turns blood to ice,
loss that is its own wound.
Easier not to feel the pain I have not earned,
the snap of my sister's neck,
the weight of a gun in my hands.
Easier not to feel adrenaline in my veins.
flesh splitting from a weapon no one uses in the field anymore,
the poisonous relief as I realize I don't have to go back.
***
But she's different. She talks to me.
***
But he's different. He talks to me.
***
And I want to hear.
***
I want to feel.
five senses are better than four - c.k
"I don't want to go."
"You don't fit in my arms anymore."
"Don't let me fall."
"It hurts too much to remember."
"I'm sorry for all I've done..."
"...Forgive me."
the unspoken words of J.B.B - c.k
he was born to live,
and i to die.
what bitter irony,
that he was prepared to live without me
but i never learned how to live without him
my love, i am not meant for a world without you in it - c.k

Girl, infinite.
Thinking herself small, unimportant,
incorrect on that count.
Girl, infinite.
Creator of worlds within words.
Poet, wordsmith, genius.
Girl, infinite.
Kind of heart, generous of soul,
the kind of friend a friend needs.
Girl, infinite.
Fighter, survivor, supreme.
Girl, infinite.
Damn, the universe outdid itself with you.
