SOMETHING FOR THEM

This is to remind you that you are a lover.

That you melt at a glance

at a touch.

That you are a baby.

You are soft and fragile

and you need someone to tell you

that everything is going to be okay.

That you are an idiot

and you are going to fuck up

1 million more times the rest of your life.

But this is to remind you

that you are a statue, gilded in marble,

and there is white lightning in your eyes.

Change shape.

Give in.
