The Book Eaters-Inspired Poem – January 2024

A poem inspired by Sunyi Dean’s The Book Eaters

She craved a sense that she had options.
How delightfully un-Princess-like!
We don't all get to say no.

If we grow up thinking
that we're princesses
and someone else will rescue
us, then we spend our lives waiting
to be rescued.

It is Bullshit: noun, stupid or untrue;
nonsense
