Diary of Maisie

My name is Maisie,

from the old word Maiseadh

It means pearl.

Born of pressure,

of pain pressed into beauty.

A child of passing storms,

and moonlit hope,

my name whispers resilience

disguised as softness.

But pearls form when the flesh is wounded.

And I…

I was born in such a wound.
