    “One day I'll give birth to a tiny baby girl
    and when she's born she'll scream
    and I'll tell her to never stop

    I will kiss her before I lay her down at night
    and will tell her a story so she knows
    how it is and how it must be for her to survive

    I'll tell her to set things on fire
    and keep them burning
    I'll teach her that fire will not consume her
    that she must use it”

Love me, because love doesn't exist, and I have tried everything that does.”
