break me like i am glass

by wisegirlgeek

the fates never seemed to notice how many lives they ruined with a single snip of thread / / / demigods are half human too. one hundred word drabbles about how nobody cares.

1. mortality, morality

Don't tell me who I'm supposed to be.

All everybody ever wants is to force me into a mold and make me something I'm not. They want to change me.

I don't want to change.

I'm human. Well, half-human.

Please, take everything else. Take my innocence and my limbs and my mind. But don't take the one thing binding me to this world.

Don't take my humanity. My mortality. My morality.

It makes me who I am.

It is the only thing which stops me from being another pawn in your game.

One day I'm going to be a queen.
