“How do I say, I knew but wanted
to be wrong,
How do I say, I knew
and knew it was somehow
inevitable.
How do I say, a sheep
doesn't really know about
about slaughter until their ears
are full of screaming.”
― Olivia A. Cole, Dear Medusa

“I may not know everything, but
I know enough to be sure
that every secret in my life
is connect at the core -

I don't know what the notes mean
or who's writing them, but
I do know that shining a light
means you see what's in the dark

and a girl can only handle
so many monsters, especially
when there's one staring back
in the mirror.”
― Olivia A. Cole

“I wonder how long I'll play this Game: testing men for fortitude
wondering when adults will be adults.
He leaves with my number.
I finish my tacos

I have done this so many times,
always winning
winning myself
into oblivion.

I never try with women.
I know it wouldn't
work.”
― Olivia A. Cole

“You don't even like him.
If you don't like it why
do it??"

And even in my head I don't
have an answer other than
"At least I'm in control.”
― Olivia A. Cole
