Fairytales
Just believe
Sweep me off my feet,
whisk me out of wasteland.
Free me from my feelings,
float away with me forever.
I see you when I sleep,
dreaming in my dreamland.
A reality only real,
in a world I made wonderland.
But I was never grounded,
I grow against the grain.
Travel makes me timeless,
I’ll fly forever faraway.
I want you to save me.
Save me from my soaring.
But it’s hard to catch someone
who’s constantly unfolding.
By the time you catch the caterpillar
she’s become a butterfly.
I want you to wrap your arms around me.
Hold me hard and never let me go.
But I fight when you get close
because my freedom has been trapped
in cages long before.
By the time I flew away
I was scared
my wings would refuse to grow.
I want you to plant me.
Like a tree.
Root me into a place and love me.
Give me life, and I’ll give you breath.
As you breath me in,
leave me breathless.
