(5) the words i never said; independence from those who would sooner see them fail
1 year ago · 0 · Stress, +18

artemis knew who she was at days old
when she helped birth her brother and
held the sun in her hands, something wild
brewed beneath her skin, something not so
easily tamed by men. she went to the king
of the gods with teeth bared and demanded
the moon and her children because she could hear
the howls of the wolves dressed in sheep's clothing.
the cries of women ravenous for better things.
she breathes the ache of the hunt into each baby
born beneath her guidance. she teaches them to
never apologize for demanding independence from
those who would sooner see them fail.
