from mopths to butterflies
these people
 surrounding me
 are shallow 
 and devoid of deeper meaning
 just a crowd of babel
 and senseless words
 and i 
 i am a bottomless pit
 always searching
 never finding
 always a moth
 never a butterfly
 these people
 surrounding me
 are incests 
 crawling along in the dirt
 moving only by instinct
 no thoughts of their own
 and i 
 i am no better
 but at least i have a mind
 these people
 surrounding me
 care not
 of my existence
 care not of my hopes 
 my thoughts
 my words
 and i 
 i am left alone
 left in the thick darkness
 without a light to find my way
 these people 
 surrounding me
 face melting into another
 nothing unordinary
 nothing extraordinary
 but i 
 i met you
 and you are just like me
 just another sol 
 searching for light
 in this dimming and darkening world
 and together
 we grow wings
 from among the moths
 we turn to butterflies
 and together
 we fly 
 far far 
 away
