To my fellow failures...
To all the would-be butterflies, To the flowers that never bloomed. To the fledgling's thoughts as she falls from the nest, Already knowing, she's doomed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To the bard whose song never took flight, To teardrops pattering on the floor. To the wonders that we all know could have been, If someone had opened that door. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To life's simple pleasures, we hardly knew ye To the soul mate we're meant to have met. Destiny's drawn us the short sticks, my friends. Rest knowing, there's still better yet.

My first poem. Ever. Idk, I was kind of nervous about putting it up there, but eventually i was just like: "Eh, what the hell." And clicked 'Post'.
Enjoy!
Love,
