“To say I am cleaning myself for the safety of your hands. You who have made an occupation from palming fires. To say that everyone before you was an asylum, you are the first sanctuary. I have come willing – not dragged nor drugged, not humbled nor hunted; held open like a nerve under the nail.”
— Scherezade Siobhan

#meggie royer#in their next lives all women are reincarnated into something no man can hurt#poetry#abuse#what must it be like to be hunted for years#while all the while there are new weapons being made#to kill you once more#but this time better

#meggie royer#poetry#rape#the rape survivor watches the girl with the dragon tattoo for the first time#there are so many worlds safer than this one#ones where you aren't bound to a bed#but to the ocean#!!!!#all your saddest memories#clinging to your ankles like stars#oh god

#dios mío...#this is exactly what trying to kill yourself feels like#like with pills#overdosing felt like a road trip movie sometimes#it reminded me of thelma & louise#making the worst decisions but it's you who's making them#there's a really freeing and terrifying realization i guess#you feel like you're god#or i felt like i was#anyway
