Fireflies

Fireflies,

They remind me of fireflies.

Flying a bliss inside our asylum

Or our temple.

Lightness or darkness,

They can cause harmony or chaos.

What we enjoy the most is

Capturing them in jars

And holding onto them.

We're enchanted, mesmerized, inflicted..

By the way they flow out so carelessly

Slithering through our tongue,

The power it carries to one and another.

Hopeful, yet destructive;

Your heart catches them

Your mind analyzes them

What will they destroy? To whom will it destroy?

To whom will it save?

Give me your word,

Give me your word...

That they will not be the death of you,

I pray,

My words will not be the death of you.

So I beg of you,

Release them,

Because they are not meant to be kept in a jar

Like fireflies in a prison cell;

They were not meant to execute you,

I pray, one day,

My words will inspire you.
