Meghan: Glory

screaming screaming screaming

Love, why don’t you just accept it?

She touches my hair, stroking and twirling the locks between her pale fingers

Get OUT! Get the fuck out of my head! I sob hysterically

I can’t sweet

one white fist clenches on a slim chain that trails from a collar around her neck

Besides

She grabs a hold of my hair and snaps my head back, blue fire staring into my eyes from inches away

Would you kill me if you could?

A sigh,

No

Painted lips smile

No?

No

A whisper ghosts across my skin

Let me out, love

I curl up into myself

No, no, no—

LET ME OUT!

Heat blisters along my skin; I can feel the rage the need—

NO!

Hissing like a snake, chords stand out in her arms and her neck. Golden hair ripples in flames and eyes blaze

She’s not so pretty now

You will not get out of me,

I know what you can do

She laughs

Because after all,

You’re me

-Meghan

"And since you know you cannot see yourself,
so well as by reflection, I, your glass,
will modestly discover to yourself,
that of yourself which you yet know not of."

-William Shakespeare

Don't be afraid of how you feel. Or of yourself. Remember that you have everything you need - us.
