Persephnix - Fairy Princess

art will save you, being unreasonably passionate about something niche will save you, letting past sources of joy show you the way back to yourself will save you, earnestness over composure will save you, the natural world will save you, caring for something bigger than yourself will save you, daring to be seen will save you, kindness not as a whim but a principle will save you, appreciation as a practice will save you, daring to try something new will save you, grounding will save you, love will save you, one good nights sleep will save you

the feminine urge to stay gone. be unseen, be unavailable, be unheard of. disappear.

fall will come again

and this time I will not be in a hospital bed

and I will not be waken up at 5am just to be put under for ect treatments, wishing I won't wake up

the air is gonna be thin and free

and the cloud will protect me and the rain will wet my eyes

not my tears

“I am the daughter of myself. I am born of my own dream. My dream sustains me.”

— Rosario Castellanos (trans. Magda Bogin), excerpt from “Wailing Wall” from The Selected Poems of Rosario Castellanos
