There Is the Worst
and Then There Is More


You silly little girl,

you think

you've survived so long

survival shouldn't hurt anymore.




You keep trying to turn

your body bulletproof.

You keep trying to turn your heart

bomb shelter.




Stop, darling.



You are soft and alive.

You bruise and heal. Cherish it.

It is what you were born to do.


It will not be beautiful,

but the truth never is.


Come now,

you promised yourself.

You promised

you'd live through this.
