Butterfly

A POEM BY MY SISTER <3:

dew drips from a leaf

a leaf that a little caterpillar walks on

it will soon be transformed

into a majestic pollinator

its climbs to a branch on a small tree

there, it starts making a cocoon

somehow it knows just what to do

it settles in wrapping itself up

it stays in there for weeks

then one day

it emerges

little does the creature know 

that he's now changed into

something very different

    HEADLINES

    Big words jumping out at you from creased paper, casually thrown on the counter, demanding attention 

    Meaningless opinions coated in fallacies

  • you in my mind

    When I clear my mind 

    I just push you down deeper

    into my core

    until I just can't tell the difference

    between thinking you and feeling you

    now you have become part of me

    and I'm tired of falling

    I lived in a world where outer beauty is the only kind that people see. I’d rather observe it from a rocking chair at the library back home, bearing down on an incredibly scripted work of art.
