They taught me how to bite my tongue, Before my voice had even sung. To shrink myself, to take up less To fold my fire into a dress. “Be quiet now, don’t make a scene.” “Good girls stay soft, polite, and clean.” So I became a silent shape, A shadow bound in silk and tape. I learned to flinch before I spoke, To laugh...

They told him, “Boys don’t cry or feel,” “Stand tall, be hard, and never kneel.” So he learned young to wear a mask, To fake the strength they dared to ask. He bit his tongue, he clenched his jaw, Afraid to show a single flaw. And every tear he held inside Just made him hollow, made him hide. They praised him when he...

Hamlet was a stately prince King Lear a royal dad Othello was a noble man Macbeth was just plain bad. From these stories we can learn That great men can have flaws And even in this century We all can crash and burn. Come...

I carry a war inside me — no guns, no blood, no trenches — just the heavy silence that screams, that crawls under my ribs and digs like a thief in the night. They see me smiling, a painted mask, a borrowed script, never the wild, tangled mess beneath — the dark roots of despair twisting around my broken bones. I am the woman who...

I was turning the bed, knife-deep in dirt when I felt it: that ache in the wrists from too much tending. And there she was again— not in the muscle, in the memory.

She wore collapse like a weather system borrowing against good nature, demanded every last bit of attention— prostration...

The old sorcerer was teaching his apprentice a lesson about the moon, but as usual the subject drifted, this time, to witches. “How would I know a witch if I saw one?” The apprentice asked. “It’s not easy,” the old man began, scratching his beard. “There are three possible ways to spot a succubus who wishes...
