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.

Emerald: Hallucinations From The Beyond

Emerald: Hallucinations From The Beyond Discalimer: The characters, the species, and the scene set up is entirely ficitional. Any resemblace to the real life is purely coincidental. Lake Emerald sat on the outskirts of this beautiful town famously known as Typhon. The inhabitants of this town were old fashioned and in general agreeable people. Natalia, born to a native of this town named Mr. Terry Sage, grew up in this town for a brief period of time around when she was in her prime teen years, that is, when she was 16 to 19. And then she moved back to the city, where she originally grew up, with her mother. You see, in her prime teen years, her parents decided to give their marriage one last chance which didn’t work. However, things soon ended amiably when Natalia’s mother Carrie decided that she wanted more from life and Terry was content where he was.  At the age of 25, her mother died due to cancer. Natalia was livid at God for taking her mother sooner than she expected. You se...

Voices of Paranoia

"Voices of Paranoia" Voices, I think I'm hearing them again Self reflections disguised as misconceptions directed towards me Accusations of haunts that have surpassed the reality of me What is it about my soul that questions the innermost intentions of well being Don't you like me? As I ask cowardly...  "Why, yes I do... You are just too untrue... " "I like the thought of you, but never the presence of you" "Honey I love you and it's all in your head" Tell me, they say actions speak louder than words And if I'm too ungrateful, how do I know it's not just you?  I see your efforts to pacify me but it is all in vain I do not seek help, I seeked understanding And yet you offend and disappoint me  Even when I give you honesty You're hearing my words, and interpreting and adjusting to suit your well being... -Gayatri
