Life Of A Part-Time Mermaid

"when you threw me to the wolves that night,
did you think they’d find me easy to swallow?
you’ve loved me more than the others; you know i claw and scream on the way down.

of course i bit back. i learned to love the moon.
i wore wolf skins as easily as my own.
i growled at death and watched him run.

please know that if you feel the hair rise on the back
of your neck, sense a shadow in the bathroom
mirror, find eyes in the thick of night, i am here.

i do not hunger after you.
i imagine you’ll taste exactly as i remember: sour, chalky, gritty. dirt under my nails.
i will be bored of this form soon.

i suggest next time, you try feeding me to dragons. — A STUDY IN SURVIVAL | m.c."

Me

I've been broken, I've loved and I've been hurt. A best friend, a hard worker, a loyal lover. I am simply human.

The Quote On My Wall

The quote on my wall says

Make a wish and place it in your heart. Anything you want, everything you want. Do you have it? Good
Now believe in it can come true. You never know where the next miracle is going to come from. The next smile, the next wish come true.

But if you believe that it’s right around the corner, and you open up your heart and mind to the possibility of it, to the certainty of it, you might get the thing you’re wishing for. The world is full of magic, you just have to believe in it.

So make your wish. Do you have it? Good.

Now believe in it with all of your heart.

I read it every night. It sits above my pillow and it reminds me that things will be alright.
