people become cruel cause they aren’t healed from what hurt them, and they aren’t loving themselves right because of it and if you don’t love yourself right you’re bound to hurt the other people you love too. unhealed hurt makes you hurt others.
“Poetry survives because it haunts and it haunts because it is simultaneously utterly clear and deeply mysterious; because it cannot be entirely accounted for, it cannot be exhausted.”
– Louise Glück, from American Originality: Essays on Poetry; “Ten Introductions: Radial Symmetry/Katherine Larson,”
