Stupid Moth

 

I wander through darkness
Like a moth in circles in the air
I make the effort of flying
I hit the walls and fall to the floor

I am like a stupid moth seeking light
And I am so eager to find it
that even a bonfire will attract me
And in it I am consumed

And yet here I stand immortal
With my spirit broken
Dreaming of turning into a butterfly
So that in the light I could fly

Bur no, Im a moth, Im just an illusion
Im an ethereal being with no life
I stand high just because of these strings
These dam strings that I cant hate
