“Do You Know What Hubris Is?”

Justine | 25| Capricorn | Bisexual | She/They

[tiredandlonelymuse]

I’ve been on my knees since I was 5.

In the chapel,

in a bedroom,

in an alley late at night.

Always facing an inflated

godlike

version of some guy.

But as a girl you do what you need to survive.

You open wider, take the body.

Thank your father, you’ve been naughty.

2 Hail Marys, 20 lashings.

“I’ve been sent to punish you for daring to exist.

You will never know a love as meaningful as this.”

I’ve memorized

the lines

since I was 10.

From the Bible,

from the playbook,

from the magazines for men.

If you should mess it up, you’ll start again.

But, still, they only want

the women

they condemn.

I think that I’d have too much fun in hell.

With the pagans

and the hedonists

and sapphics there as well.

Purgatory seems the better fit

I can’t stand waiting in the corner,

but I do love being hit.

There’s not a torture you can prescribe

that I wouldn’t find

a way to like.

Every single second I’m alive

I’m sharpening an axe I’d like to grind.

“I was sent to punish you

for the way I was designed.

You will never know a love

that you fear more than mine.”

- “God Fear a Woman” 2023

I wish that I was better, for the kids who emulate.

but they should really all know better,

than to take the fucking bait

that I’ve been dangling from this building

with my goosebumps in the cold.

I am nothing but a story for a man until I’m sold.

and he can tell it in the lobby, to the old men at the bar

they’ll all clink his cup

and make shit up.

to take it all too far,

they’ll tell a lie about the summer

where they “once had me alone”

and I’ll reside inside a sonnet.

I’m a picture in a phone.

I’ve aged beyond the angel they all saw inside me then.

a grotesque and fading memory

trapped underneath a pen.

if yall could stop legally watching these Disney live-action remakes that only exist to ride off nostalgia and zero originality so we can move past this disastrous cinema era to the new generation of stories that would be great

How wild is it that every version of you probably exists still, somewhere, in someone’s memory? The messy you, crying on the floor exists still in your mind. The happy, sun-soaked you, exists in your best friend’s memory. No part of you has died, all parts of us exist always, simultaneously and hidden.

to everyone who is losing things like concerts and senior proms and commencements and brunches they’d had planned forever and literally anything they’ve been looking forward to i’m sorry. i really am. it sucks and i’m sure there will be people in your life who will tell you to get over it because others have it worse right now and while it may be true that others have it worse that doesn’t make your pain, disappointment, or sadness any less real or valid. keep your head up.

[iwantasecretgarden]

my sister’s wedding was just cancelled by the venue. when I told one of my friends how upset she was and how heartbroken we all were to have worked and planned so much, she just said “well, it’s good.”

i understand that there is illness and people at risk, but the callousness of it shocked me, just as she was unmoved by my other sister being sent home her senior year, losing her research job, putting all the cells in the freezer, three years of work, her thesis, graduation -

“oh, everyone is doing that.”

your loss is valid. god and even if you are hearing about someone’s “inconsequential” thing they loved - a concert, a brunch - you don’t know if that’s the thing they’ve been sticking around for or not. so just like fucking chill and be kind: it hurts for everyone, in different ways. you aren’t being selfish for losing something you loved.

I was literally just saying to my mom yesterday that I’m disappointed all of our Easter plans have been canceled. It may not have been much, but they were our plans and I was looking forward to them. It sucks when things get cancelled. Please stop trying to turn this into some weird competition where you can’t feel disappointed, sad or hurt unless you have it the very worst of everyone. No one comes out looking good when that happens.

[pixilated-witch]

I love having nights where I literally say “I should have kms in high school”

[pixilated-witch]

I need to get actual help when I go home, it’s not even funny anymore how much I’m spiraling
