To Be Devoured

by Sara Tantlinger

wanted to drown with you Luna, not beneath you. Not away from you.

When you’ve already been called crazy your entire life, there is nothing worse than thinking you are waning away into a perceived truth. If crazy becomes my truth, I don’t know what else to do.

I found my freedom even if it comes at the cost of such a suffocating, vehement end. But at least it is my ending, my bitter devouring. At least it is something they cannot take from me.
