I wrote this piece at a witchy writing workshop where we discussed the portrayal of witches as wild/ bad women in media. It was fun + out of my element from my “normal” poetry.
I don’t want to be good
I want to utilize my powers
To be bad
For the fun of it
For the thrill of it
Donned in all black
Blinkless stare
I own the night +
I’ll devour your soul whole
I’m tired of being the good girl
I channel my ancestors +
Summon the darkness to
Shift inside me what I
cannot change on my own
“Summon Darkness”
