Did you really think she was a tender flower you could trample upon, and damage her very soul? She is wildfire. And she is coming to devour you whole. - Nikita Gill

Hunger: The Darkest Fairytale
People ask questions,
but no one asks the right questions.
Who knew 'How are you so skinny?'
instead of 'When was the last time you ate?'
could be the difference between
getting help and nearly dying

Who told you only the soft could be good mothers?
That mothers could not be dragons in disguise?
That women who teach their daughters how to preserve
themselves by breathing out lightning were any less
than wild, magical things when teaching their young
about war and love's terrible lies?

Maybe that's why you demonised them,
turned them into monsters,

because you think monsters are easier
to understand than women who say no to you.
