i am learning to sharpen my teeth and rule kingdoms, instead.
Arlen C., from “a letter from medusa,” unmythologize (via lifeinpoetry)
so the boy is not a wolf– but he bites like one. when you tell everyone he has teeth, he just smiles and smiles.
ON NOT SAYING WHAT YOU REALLY MEAN IN THE FACE OF TRAUMA, Trista Mateer (via tristamateer)
the problem is, i want legendary kings who blaze then burn carved into my skin so i look like an illuminated manuscript, gilded and tearing at the edges. so i look medieval and cathedral and regal. but the problem is, the world is too small now for kings who find swords in lakes, for knights who coruscate in the sunlight, for wizards whose lovers trap them in trees. and the problem is, i don’t know what to do with all that leftover glory. it wants to make a crown out of my skull.
If I can’t have love, if I can’t find peace, Give me a bitter glory.
Anna Akhmatova, Rosary (via mythaelogy)
ok yes i may be evil and morally corrupt but i’m also incredibly beautiful and i think that makes up for it honestly
