bully – Jordyn Saelor

in 3 years’ time

in three years I think I aged twenty, from a little girl to a teen in ratty clothing and poorly brushed hair. But I learned runes,

Blankets with the vertebrae still on

I went to classes the next day and nothing changed, I got seven snot wads on my dress and borrowed six pencils from the library that all broke and someone’s wings landed a bruise on my head

rin run run/rin rat run

outta the haze light fleeing demon fire, they said they’d tamper with my memories if I chose to leave but like I was air I went creeping through the magic lair to flee when I should’ve been sleeping

Bully is a ridiculous word. It sounds too tame. Bully. You practically have to smile to say it.
