“tell me
something,
would you?

haven't you
ever wished

you could
dance

in the ashes
of everyone who

ever doubted
your worth

& scoffed at
your words?

(shh
it's okay.
i won't tell)”
― Amanda Lovelace, The Witch Doesn't Burn in This One

“there came
a time
when
poetry
showed me
how to
bleed
without
the demand
of blood.

“I. you will
come across people
who simply cannot wait
to watch you fail.

II. there will be many times
in which you
will fail
(miserably),

III. but your failures
are just what happened-
they don't have to be
who you are.

IV. all you can do is
take those mistakes
& use them as fertilizer
to help you grow.

V. you have to
keeping moving forward
no matter what
their voices say.

- this life is still worth living.”
― Amanda Lovelace
