Is this what it comes to?

My own mythology

By Ariana GonBonPublished about a year ago • 1 min read

A minimum-wage job

that barely lets me pay my

too-high rent

Struggling to find a story

beneath my skin

No audience to write to

just an itch in the middle

of my back that i have

not satisfied

Everyone else has found

a great story

Yet I cannot bring myself

to admit that

I might have one too

There is no other woman

inside me

ready to sprout fully grown

from my headaches
