BROKEN BUTTERFLY

Trying,

Struggling,

To spread your wings wide when what you really want is to crawl in your cocoon and hide

Hide from the hurt,

Hide from the pain,

Knowing all the while it would only be in vain…

**********************************************************************************
while working out today, listening to my iPod, and even more odd, I listen to heavy metal angry music when I lift, these words just spilled from my head.

I don't consider myself creative, well ok I am in the kitchen - but it was odd how this just... was... there...

Not sure what ANY of it means but it was worth writing down I thought.

Butterfly Continued...

The butterfly knows it cannot hide,

Least not forever, from the world outside

She has a great deal of beauty to share, too much to keep within

So if she lands on your shoulder don’t just brush her aside

Rather try and understand all the fear she holds inside

Fear of people, places, and things you may never know

Just love her for who she is, be a friend, and help her to grow

My favorite song of all time I think..

QUEENSRYCHE - SILENT LUCIDITY



Hush now, don't you cry
Wipe away the teardrop from your eye
You're lying safe in bed
It was all a bad dream
Spinning in your head
Your mind tricked you to feel the pain
Of someone close to you leaving the game of life
So here it is, another chance
Wide awake you face the day
Your dream is over... or has it just begun?

There's a place I like to hide
A doorway that I run through in the night
Relax child, you were there
But only didn't realize it and you were scared
It's a place where you will learn
To face your fears, retrace the years
And ride the whims of your mind
Commanding in another world
Suddenly you hear and see
This magic new dimension

I- will be watching over you
I- am gonna help you see it through
I- will protect you in the night
I- am smiling next to you, in Silent Lucidity


(Visualize your dream)
(Record it in the present tense)
(Put it into a permanent form)
(If you persist in your efforts)
(You can achieve dream control)
(Dream control)
(How's that then, better?)
(Hug me)

If you open your mind for me
You won't rely on open eyes to see
The walls you built within
Come tumbling down, and a new world will begin
Living twice at once you learn
You're safe from the pain in the dream domain
A soul set free to fly
A round trip journey in your head
Master of illusion, can you realize
Your dream's alive, you can be the guide but...

I- will be watching over you
I- am gonna help to see it through
I- will protect you in the night
I- am smiling next to you....





not even sure why I like it so much, other than in my dreams I feel free, safe, in control, protected like a child - ever since I first heard this song I've loved it..

QOTD - Wed, May 13

Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts. And we are never, ever the same.
*************************************************************************************

sadly some stomp on our hearts too :o(
