​grace and fragility

grace and fragility

grace

So beautiful like a butterfly

But, you’re scared of butterflies

It’s so contradicting

You’ve got dappled spots

Of sunlight reflecting off

Your dazzling wings

How could you be afraid of

Such a charming thing?

All I see is your heart of gold

Showered in stardust and the glory

Of kingdoms old

fragility

From statues standing tall

crumbling stones fall

Within my castle walls fashioned of obsidian

lies a thick framework of pumice

Inside my crystal clear mind

is a maze of illusive mirrors

All reflecting

All concealing

All distracting

from a desolate wasteland

with a raging storm

that never stops eroding my desperate weak attempt

to hide my broken psyche
