Life

Float upon a water lily
Head towards the sun
Release a cry of agony
Carry with you a gun

Transform into bright energy
A beauteous light
The gift to be joyously free
For those of true insight

Wander aimlessly in circles
Try to find a path
Attempt to buy the miracles
Feel the terrible wrath

Time begins to darken and fade
The fire slowly dies
Done is the pathetic façade
A lifetime in your eyes

Hey! Are we allowed to do that? I already posted a poem on my other blog, can I post it here again?

Maybe I should go back and edit it...oh poo.

Yes, Steph, you're allowed to do that.

lol a little late?

Gah, I woke up at 1:30 with this great idea for a poem and tried writing it down, but couldn't get it right.

I ended up falling asleep again at 4:00, to get up again in 2 and a half hours for school.
