Fly High Butterfly
Fly high butterfly
Reach the skies with one hand
Don’t give in to these cries
Venture back to your land
Be free like the sea
Shallow water dies fast
Sit back, drink some tea
Do not worry about the past
Look back, don’t be shy
No regrets butterfly
You don’t even have to try
Fly high butterfly, fly
A short reflection on life and mindset
It’s all about perspective
There’s nothing to do,
There’s so much you could do
Generalizing kills all possibilities
“Everyone is like this” sets you into a mindset where you don’t open yourself to people
I don’t ever want to close myself to the possibilities
There’s so much, just open your eyes to see
It’s not only pretty flowers, it’s realizing that everyone has strengths and weaknesses
We are not all good or bad
We are complex individuals
We have to learn to work with our strengths and deal with our weaknesses

What happened to those dreams and nightmares? Now it’s just you in my head since you left...what happened to the chaos, the PTSD, the oversensitivity, the shut downs, the lack of energy? I thought you brought me happiness and solutions but I look back and find myself in a pool of tears, confused, betrayed, lead to believe something that wasn’t real. Was it me that created this fairytale? Was I the narrator in our story? Not that I can tell what’s in your mind but I could because you are my creation. I can say exactly what you’re thinking and what would it matter? You’re far gone and anything that will bring me good I welcome...just as long as I’m not tricking myself again. I’m tired of living fairytales...
Lost in a Sea of Mermaids
Lost in shapes of color
Lost in a motion of expression
I’m lost in a sea of mermaids
Captured by the sparkling treasure
They lure me in, conquest my heart
They promise lands, treasures at hand
I dip my toe in glorious resilient waters
And come out lost
Have I been bewitched?
Played? Drugged?
My mind erased, confusing thoughts
Oh precious mermaid don’t call my name
I don’t seek your jewels nor your beauty
I was lost and stumbled upon your territory but now I know I don’t belong here...
Off I go, back to shore!
Happiness, what is it?
Happiness, what is it? It’s when your sadness is put into perspective and you realize how something else makes you feel way better. It’s when you feel like you are being treated like you deserve. Your gut feeling tells you this is where you’re meant to be. You feel like you’re following your heart’s desire no matter how far outside of your comfort zone you are. Happiness is when not everything goes according to plan but it still doesn’t affect you.
Puppet Show
It pulls me in all directions
A force beyond my control
I see it coming, I feel it messing with me
Unable to stop it, it conjures me
Pulled by the strings like a puppet
Cut the strings and more are tied
Let me Go! I scream
I fight, I pull, I’m drained
I shut down and watch it glare
It laughs at me, tortures me
Imprisons me, manipulates me
Let me Go! I scream
I run far far far but...
I bounce back as pulled by a string
Play me, I’ll let you play me
Do as you wish, I give up
I’ll let go, just play the show.
