“be stronger than the villains. be every storybook heroine come to life.” - mother knows best III.
a chorus of mermaids cried out to her then, ‘DON’T BE AFRAID TO SING. BELT IT OUT. YOUR VOICE COULD SINK SPACESHIPS.’
you say i meant to break open to make room for stars
but until that day, the day you are okay, just keep singing yourself to sleep, and eventually your monsters will stop haunting you.
