Meggie Royer is a Midwestern writer, domestic violence advocate, and the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Persephone’s Daughters, a literary and arts journal for abuse survivors. She has won numerous awards for her work and has been nominated several times for the Pushcart Prize. She thinks there is nothing better in this world than a finished poem.

Quotes by Meggie C. Royer  (?)
Quotes are added by the Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ community and are not verified by Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ.

“On your worst days do not look in the mirror and call yourself pretty. Call yourself trying, call yourself surviving, call yourself learning how to get through a day, a week, a month or year. Call yourself still learning.”
Meggie Royer

“I don’t wear a red cape.

I can’t scale buildings like a salamander or leap across canyons

twenty miles wide. I don’t have a huge S emblazoned across my chest.

My superpowers come from teaching myself how to survive

when all I wanted to do was be one of the people

that heroes are supposed to save.”
Meggie Royer

“Loving me will not be easy. Some days I will be a stuttering apology
and you won’t know how to handle all the things I’ve done wrong.”
Meggie Royer

“Tomorrow may be hell, but today was a good writing day, and on the good writing days nothing else matters.”
Neil Gaiman

“Love me when I least deserve it, because that's when I really need it.”
Swedish Proverb

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
Oscar Wilde

“I sit before flowers
hoping they will train me in the art
of opening up

I stand on mountain tops believing
that avalanches will teach me to let go

I know
nothing

but I am here to learn.”
Shane Koyczan

“Getting over what you did to me is not why I get out of bed anymore.”
Naomi Shihab Nye, Time You Let Me In: 25 Poets under 25
