“if i invited you into my garden- i know you would only water the plants you like. your eye would trail over to the prettiest colors and swaying tulips. within days, my mind would become a withering grey while my chest blossomed lilies. my hips would birth ripe, tender tomatoes- but my lips would part only to give rise to compliments and ‘i love you’s’ to feed your towering ego. so i would condense myself into ‘being okay’ because of how pretty you’ve made my garden look. i am more than that. that is why i choose- every day, to lock the gates and keep you away. i pour water over every inch of my skin and remind myself of the beauty that blossoms in the hollow of my bones. today, i am not just ‘okay. today, i am goddamn fantastic.’”— goddamn fantastic. |(morsus engel)| (via morsusengel)
