A Good Little Girls Zine

Create Now

I sit alone watching each sun ray cut through the window to get to my skin,
Waiting
Light at last
Darkness just a memory

Parts of me
Float back together
Letting go and accepting
Content

I lay my head against the kind pillow
Supported, I dream
Erasing all the hatred, guilt, sadness
Remembering that I am
I am
I am an artist
So it’s time to create!
