Favorite Quote:
People live their lives bound by what they accept as correct and true. That’s how they define “reality”. But what does it mean to be “correct” or “true”? Merely vague concepts … their “reality” may all be a mirage. Can we consider them to simply be living in their own world, shaped by their beliefs?


Look at her now
My fallen sparrow
The wind has long left you and your broken wing

The wind stopped flowing the moment
You let yourself be fooled by a dove
No
The wind stopped prospering when
You let go of your crow

You didn't know?
You didn't know... Just how loving
Crows are over even the simple leaf?
Just how much that crow loved you?
Valued you more than its own nest

But that dove
That beautiful white dove
Drove you by pure ignorance
And trapped you in your own jealousy

You didn't know?
You didn't know... Just how deceitful
That dove really is?
Just how he values your ability to fly
More than your true self
You didn't know?
You didn't know... Now all sparrows
Can fly with doves
Some are only meant for the silhouettes of doves
Or the sunshine of crows

The wind stopped flowing the day
You let your wings become as broken
As he is

This piece was written for a girl who let go of a good person (the crow) with a beautiful personality and pure heeart, for a more physically attractive, yet destructive person (the dove).
