A Good Little Girls Zine

Self Soothe

Soloing around town, the wind spirals through her hair, lifts the bottom edge of her dress and her skin is alive.

She had forgotten–this side of life, the freedom,

No compromises, no responsibility, no words, no leaning

Suddenly a self-reliant woman for a few,

She sees, though she has many whom she loves, who love her, she actually only needs herself for the night.
