[We are the feeders of betrayal to the self.]
We slap the self
And scream until the red shows,
Hatred, Worthlessness, Accusation
Until the self, whimpering, cowering,
Draws itself to the wall and trembles.
Then, gently,
We draw the self up-
Our hands laid against its cheeks
And whisper consolation,
Comfort, Strength, Pleading
Kissing the self tenderly until the hurt goes away
And the self sighs, relieved,
Lets its body fall tiredly against our own
In warm, exhausted devotion.
[Then we slap the self again.]

 reports, 1d 15h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.

We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |
