Wings

by @DatoreFargo

I saw butterflies, perch, on my toes, last night. They fluttered down, from the ceiling, calling my sole, their home. Onyx wings, somehow sparkle, in the late, early hours, of dawn. I ponder, will they, carry me, to my end, this time? Only wishes, and the anxiety, of being lost, again, this time. I dream, of freedom, from reality. It’s mocking my, illusions, birthing them into, hallucinations. My brain, broken, haphazardly, glueing, the pieces, together. Lost, I’m drowning, forgotten, I should be, flying.

Notes

Recently I’ve been sick, I’ve been having seizures, hallucinations. Unfortunately we haven’t figured out what is wrong with me, it’s neurological. I start medicine today so I may disappear for a while, but this poem is the closest I can get to expressing me again. I hope you enjoy.
