Whenever the silence
suffocates,
whenever our eyes sting yet,
we refuse to let vulnerability
escape,
Inside our room,
where only
muffled cries
were heard,
Together with the darkness
And the cold,
And pain we
desired to be heard,
The scars we mute,
tuck,
remained untold.
Aren't we fairytales, too?
In the darkness,
we fight our own
monsters
to save the heart's
blue
we are the princesses,
the knights
and the very dragon
inside.

—Pender, Olive
