A Good Little Girls Zine

Dearest,
Don’t you spend your nights twisting and turning
sweating and shivering
Don’t–
spend your days planning and preparing
perfecting and paving

because,

I am here
I will protect you from the demons of your past
those who hover over your head haunting you most nights.
I will cradle you in my soft arms and sing you back to sleep.

Don’t awaken mid lumber shaking with fear no more,
for I am with you always–a cashmere wrap to warm you
A constant reminder that no matter the weather,
you are safe with me beside you.

Eternally,
Your Guardian,
Defender,
Protector,
Forevermore
