The Butterfly Effect
THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT Today I saw a butterfly close its wings And for the first time in my life, I saw pretty turn into ugly when it simply decided to sleep What are we? Who are we? Shiny until we let the world in Until the world lets us see the light in every little thing Until then, and only then, when we have nothing but forward to steer in. The moment it turns all dark and cold When the reality of the light decides to set in, When the world decides to clutter and wreck havoc And everything you've ever known turns to dust And everything you've ever been turns into everything you will ever be Who are we? For we do not know any more Faded and jaded Slowly losing control Letting ourself hide into the oblivion Desperately hanging onto a thread of fate and hope That someday you'll clap your wings again and be yourself again As if you were just a butterfly in its resting phase. ~ Gayatri
