Favorite Quote:
“I was ashamed of myself when I realized life was a costume party; and I attended with my real face.” ~Franz Kafka


The warrior girl walked barefoot on flames,

Knowing that the truth could kill her.

Yet the slump of her shoulders,

Can’t compete with the arch of her back

And ashes beneath her feet.

This is the girl who can turn

her watery tears into flaming anger,

And her very anger into death and rebirth.

This is me,

The girl who can taste death a thousand times

And use it to relish life.

The tomb that’s been built for me,

Is the only throne I’ve ever left then.

Time and time unbound,

Once more till struggle shall bound me

shall I do it once again
