[hometext] => I wrote this poem over several months, from July-September 2000.
[bodytext] => Always unsure of what to do I fly recklessly To consequences I don't think of I just do what my heart feels is right Never knowing how it'll turn out But many times this way I have been burned Will someone tell me When will I learn? I'm just like a moth to the flame Attracted to the light but scorched by the heat So reckless and stupid For flying towards it so blindly But still has the ability to fly away unscathed Burned but unbroken Hoping I'm closer to a butterfly But deep down I truly know I can never be a monarch I'm just a mere moth engulfed in flame. I shoot to the sun because I follow my heart But fall towards the ground because of my pride Trying to show I'm truly a regal monarch A dignified and graceful beauty of the field Fluttering from flower to flower unabashedly but never quite finding what I need So I head to the light to be true to my heart; I'm just a moth who's obessed with the light. I'm just like a moth to the flame Attracted to the light but scorched by the heat So reckless and stupid For flying towards it so blindly But still has the ability to fly away unscathed Burned but unbroken Hoping I'm closer to a butterfly But deep down I truly know I can never be a monarch I'm just a mere moth engulfed in flame.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
