THAT WAS THEN.

/

By Ella BogdanovaPublished 12 months ago • 1 min read

Back then, things happened to me.

Flew paradise and landed, badly.

Endured a boa constrictor love.

Grew wafer-thin.

Still wasn’t eaten.

Tried to eat the world.

Couldn’t stop, having swallowed the sun.

Now, I happen to things.

I claw my way out,

I know to dream and scream,

I know it’s worth fighting for my own face.
