A Good Little Girls Zine

Sweet Molasses

In the syrupy pool of twisted lies, we are toys that stick to every surface

Although on the Inside we are independent, healthy, most important right.

Each of us is right.

And so the real right escapes, vanishes, evaporates while we remain in this sticky mess of a world dominated by false expectations and untruths.

The truths; they are thick molasses in the back of our throats and we swallow, swallow, swallow till it dissolves to nothing.
