ALL MINE — S. MORTEM

[S. Mortem]

QUOTES

— how to be a monster: / 1. learn the taste of dirt and pain. / 2. teach it to others till your knuckles bleed. / 3. see if that makes it easier to breathe.
— angry, and half in love with her, and tremendously sorry, i turned away.
— i am not good. i am not virtuous. i am not sympathetic. i am not generous. i am merely and above all a creature of intense passionate feeling. i feel—everything. it is my genius. it burns me like fire.
— run away. it was a powerful instinct.
— we've heard you were a victim. stop crouching in the shadows, chewing your hair. / you can be graceful, not like a ballerina, like a hedge of coral, / built up and eaten and worn down yet alive, carving the rhythms of the sea. / you can be a threshing sledge, new and sharp with many teeth.
— you are a hurricane of a girl; remember to breath every once in a while, do not drown within your own storm.
— i was raised feral, and i mostly stayed that way.
