A/N: i vomited words and this happens
chasing butterflies like forgotten dreams,
constantly out of reach, out of grasp
dancing prisms of light, everything is not what it seems
a hopeless wish
to forever stay in the warm embrace
of naivety, yet still giving chase
to idealistic innocence
and the lines blur
between right and wrong, black and white
and all is left is the murk of grey, like fog, obscure
you're afraid that everything is not that simple, not the way it used to be
childish innocence gives way to cynical sarcasm
and there's a yawning chasm
where laughter used to be
the truth of the world
(innocence really can be bliss---you cannot deny)
truly makes you want to curl
up and never wake up
you once said the sky was so beautiful
but now it's darkened with scowling clouds
and you're not sure if they will ever part again
and you see a butterfly of so many colors
irdiscent blue, shimmering bright
and give chase once again
chasing once long-forgotten dreams
that threaten to rend
your fragile heart
apart
summer ends with a sigh, saying goodbye
but you know you'll see it again
with the turning of time
you can't help
but contemplate
your
insanity
doing the same thing again and again with the expectancy of different results
chasing, chasing for eternity, the golden horizon
pursuing
with endless ambition
castles in the sky
and you have faith
you will find what you seek
no mater how long it takes
no matter the stakes
no matter what the fates
decree
what shall be
shall be.
you try your best
to never break
your promises
(you'd never rest
until you accomplish
what you desire)
