HOW TO EXIST // the penultimate @letsescapril prompt
Image reads:
How to exist
When the world feels like
An iron maiden
Ready to skewer you for
Any man with a commanding voice
As if your hopes and dreams
Were no more than chunks of
Pink marshmallow
Asking to be torched
Instead, exist so softly that
You become a ghost
Where arrows pass right through you
And cannot leave scar tissue
In their violent wake
