Summer Dragonfly (2024)

Summer dragonfly,

How I stare and watch you fly by.

One of your wings is broken, yet somehow

You find the strength to fly

The sky’s of my mind.

However, for some reason

You never fly to my reality

To help me find my inner strength

Whenever I forget about who I am

And cry,

Especially late at night, when I’m sitting in the meadow,

Surrounded by 1,000 fireflies,

Questioning why, why did God

Have to give me this life?

I know these questions aren’t supposed to be spoken aloud,

Mostly because if he can truly hear me

He would be profound of how

I ask for ways, ways for him

To take my breath away.

Summer dragonfly,

Won’t you flutter my way

To help me mend my broken wings

And fly away from

The land of 1,000 fires

Because the temperature gauge within my brain

Only burns hotter and hotter.

I beg of you, please,

Summer dragonfly,

Transfer your healing energy into me

And help remove me out of my skin,

As you do yourself,

To be born into the person

I am meant to be, and to open my heart

So I may love, and finally be

Genuinely happy.
