Meghan Cruse
Strong independent woman
But still only human.
Perfection impossible to be attained.

Invincible on the surface
Yielding below the dermis.
Criticism harms the souls essence.

Outward positively pleasant
Internal increasingly depressant.
Happiness of else always forefront.

Broken subordinate female
Simmer; inhale and exhale.
Brush it off, “Boys will be boys.”

---trigger warning: contains implications of **** (read at own discretion)---

the preacher's son wears such clever disguise
that his true wolf hide comes as a surprise.

the preacher's son steals covet touches on the sly
and I can't escape no matter how hard I try.

the preacher's son tells me everything is alright
as he takes advantage of the cover of bleak night.

the preacher's son shreds my modest skirt
tells me to ignore the blood and hurt.

the preacher's son claws into my frozen vestal skin
and convinces himself that I led him into sin.

the preacher's son covets maiden purity
and vilifies me when I become *****.

the preacher's son is an expert at sweet-talking
and his slick words have a way of destroying.

the preacher's son with shifty smiling serpent eyes
denounces my righteous cries as slanderous lies.

the preacher's son is done teaching me
and walks away with his born again hands clean.

Kafka Joint
I am very touchy,
So, stay away,
I am not your patchwork,
Don't sew me in your way.

even if he is as resplendent and radiant as the sun, when he drains the color from your life, stifles your effervescence, leeches your brilliance, do not be afraid to leave him.

- advice from ixchel
Ixchel is the Mayan Goddess of the Moon, Women, Childbirth, Weaving, and Rainbows (amongst other things!). One legend states that she was married to the Sun god who took away her golden brilliance; tiring of his constant jealous accusations of her cheating, she leaves him.

some days you will be empty
some days you will be full
the moon goes through phases too.

crybaby
Too tired to get out of bed
The bathroom is too far
Let me lay
Let me day dream
Let me sleep
Concentration at lowest bar
Untouched pile of work
Looser fit in my jeans
Thoughts consume my head
Get me out of this scene
