When the Fireflies Danced

While the fireflies dances

I wished that i would soar

Far away from where I stood

Become something bigger

Something better then I am now

I wished to be somewhere elsewhere

To be bright

To dance

To feel loved

Liked the ways that I loved the fireflies

I danced with them

I talked to them

I asked them to help me

I asked them to change me

But I was scared

Scared to explain my reasons

So I ran

I ran from what I knew

Into something so unknown

All alone, and scared

Darkness filled around me

I didn’t have the light

Of the many fireflies to sorrow me

I tried to shine alone

But without them I was lost

I tried to find my way back

But by then I was far to gone

And i couldn’t find anything

All I had was the bitter taste of darkness

And the soft sounds of doubt and regret

I was far away

I felt so forgotten

Like I was dying before i could live

I had stopped myself from shining

I was so afraid so i hid everything

From everyone and locked it away

I hid from the fireflies

And yet hoped to be found

For I couldn’t go alone much longer

But shame filled me as I sat alone

I could see their light

But it wasn’t near as bright

As it had once been

I try to find them

To reach them but they are moving away

Slowly I realize what I have done

There is no hope for me

So i give into this feeling

And I sit down and softly weep

Alone in the dark

But there was one

One single firefly that came

And found me

And helped me back to the rest

That showed me

Journies aren’t always to be alone
