the musings of a wallflower

inspiration

"and he found you lost and guided [you]"

inspiration

i could sense it everywhere

there was something in the atmosphere

and as i looked around

it became increasingly clear

that what they said was true

the sun did shine a little differently here.

i have been around a million stars,

watched them from near and from afar

but here they held a different allure,

the constellations twinkled so bright and sure.

i was an unbeliever, an atheist; they said

my despairing lack of faith

and seemingly, my hate

of absolutely anything pure

would bring about my death.

this land was nothing like me

it was burdened down

by hope, fear, ego and incomplete dreams

this land, unknown, on which I lay

was a lover's euphoric dream

but i am no lover

and i am no dreamer.

if anything; my love and my dreams

had torn me apart,

crushed my hopes and shattered my heart.

and as i cried tears of blood,

i learned to pick the pieces up

and now i will slowly sew them together

as i wander and reconstruct my dreams

in this beautiful land

where the sun shines differently.
