If I am anything, it is violence.

Alejandra Pizarnik, from “[…] of the Silence,” Extracting the Stone of Madness: Poems 1962 - 1972
(via mythaelogy)
my soul is gone,
all that’s left is a ghost I don’t recognize,
replaced by the devil himself,
he took my heart in his hand and squeezed,
my body became his weapon, my mind his prisoner,
now all I know is the sound of innocent screams,
and I can’t tell the difference between mine or theirs anymore.

— who am i? // k.s. (via worthygamora)
(HOW DID YOU SURVIVE?) they ask.

how much did they have you bleed;
how long did they make you suffer;
how low did they force you down;
how dark did they tint your dreams?

     —until you had their blood glistening on your teeth;
     —until your suffering paled in comparison to their own;
     —until it was their throats pinned under your boot;
     —until you learned to enjoy the sounds of screams.

                                                          (I DIDN’T.) you reply.

to defeat monsters: become the greater monster | m.a.w

musesgonnamuse:

in order to be REBORN something in me first had to DIE

when encountering a monster, be more wary of its master. its master made it to be so dangerous. its master made it to harm. its only dangerous if its master is near.
Why should I apologize for the monster I’ve become? No one ever apologized for making me this way.
My shadow is the same, but the person it follows is not.
you died screaming,
yet
the monster
who took your
place was silent.

i don’t remember
when my screams
turned into silence.

i don’t remember
why my vision
had gone black.

i don’t remember
where i dangled
off that edge.
