“Momma, Momma, let me tell you how I burn, how I revel in it, red-eyed and feral, how flames flicker across my teeth. Let me tell you how I set every goddamn fire myself, how it is hell and heaven, agony and ecstasy devouring themselves inside of me, how I scream the prayers you taught me until my throat rips itself into a bloody, shredded thing. Momma, let me tell you how I became relentless. Momma, let me tell you how I became the light.”
— Emily Palermo, Fire Prayer (via starredsoul)
