When I looked at you, my life made sense. Even the bad things made sense. They were necessary to make you possible.
Jonathan Safran Foer
She’s mad, but she’s magic. There’s no lie in her fire.
Charles Bukowski, An Almost Made Up Poem
[I’ve grown, but whatever monster might be in me, it was always mine, my choice, my responsibility, my evil if you will.]
It’s what I am, and if you want excuses, come and take them.
Mark Lawrence, from The Prince of Thorns
Some women are
lost in the fire.
Some women are
built from it.
Keep your hands away.
I’m nothing but broken glass,
built to make you bleed.
There is a fire
rising inside of me.
and I am doing my best
to stop it from burning the ones
I love.
Y.Z
She has a mouth like unswept glass—-when you least expect it she cuts you.
Junot Diaz, “Otravida, Otravez
I’m really afraid to feel happy because it never lasts.
Andy Warhol
I must
(kindly)
ask you
to get the fuck out of my head.
I was brave, I resisted,
I set myself on fire.
