You spent years planting red flags convincing me they were roses.
HOLLY DUXBURYYou spent years planting red flags convincing me they were roses.
HOLLY DUXBURYMy heart cracks like an egg spilling the promises I thought I made.
HOLLY DUXBURYIt is an act of courage every time you create. Stay brave.
HOLLY DUXBURYDon’t talk to me like I am a lost little girl I am a wolf and these are my woods.
HOLLY DUXBURYThe sun and moon are both awake, flirting from across the sky.
HOLLY DUXBURYWe would look with scorn at witch mothers who build towers but not at princes who lust after caged women.
HOLLY DUXBURYI know longer know how to find myself under the weight of who I had to be.
HOLLY DUXBURYThere is magic in the minuscule.
HOLLY DUXBURYNo matter the storm you are still standing to guide me home.
HOLLY DUXBURYThe contradiction of my lips so cold outside so warm within.
HOLLY DUXBURYSomehow you’d had your mermaids never smell like fish.
HOLLY DUXBURYHere I am spitting up roses in your name I hope you choke on the thorns.
HOLLY DUXBURYTell me about the flowers that bloom in your mind when the earth sits between you and the sun.
HOLLY DUXBURYThe only thing that fills the void is pulling things out of it.
HOLLY DUXBURYWe are so much more than the sum of parts colors staining us bruises of identity.
HOLLY DUXBURYThere is no point in uprooting yourself to prove to others you can bloom.
