This is actually a poem I wrote for a blog I'm co-writing with a good friend of mine.
i thought my first love
would make me a queen:
"we were supposed to be the king and queen
persephone and hades ruling the underworld
but life's not a myth
and we're not divine"
all it did was break my heart
and taught me
how to breathe gardens into my lungs
weave my own crowns
become my own queen
life may not be a myth
but like persephone herself
i am a goddess, a divine queen
