A Good Little Girls Zine

Today I came to see that

if I release you, free you of my expectations,

we will soar.

Today I came to see that

I can’t fix this world for you and though it saddens me,

it also frees me.

Today I came to see that

if I play my cards right, say the right words, act when I feel a pull,

maybe together, and separate we can be alright.
