❝ you used to hide, ducking down
and hunching over to avoid the attack
catching their words like glass
between your teeth
taking low bows so they couldnt see
the scratched skin and split lips
and fine trickles of blood
tracing their way
through split-shattered bones
stand up tall
if skyscrapers did not sway,
they would snap.
the curve of your spine mirrors
the strength of your soul,
and the girl you see in the shattered
shards at your feet is not you.
she has been distorted by
broken mirrors and broken words but
your spine will not snap.
stand up tall
you were born for catching clouds ❞

gonna add some lighter quotes :>
