Simple Things
Butterfly
I went hunting for beauty
With my eyes and a net
Traveling to a place
A friend once led me
Barren it seemed
Until I saw her
Flying so gracefully
Floating so majestically
My tears beat my knees to the ground
She fluttered about my head
Her beauty so real
Landing in my hand
She turned into glass
Into her body I gazed
On her heart I saw our first meeting
Me crying, her flying
Both loving
Whispering the words
Wishing she could hear
She cracked and I gasped
The glass encasing her shattered
And with it my heart
From the broken pieces
Emerged what words cannot describe
The purest of love
In the form of her beauty

I'm really not sure what I think about this one. I wrote it earlier today based off an idea I had while at work. I really like the beginning of it, but I'm not sure about the ending. Let me know what you think.
Other than that, it's been almost a month since I updated this thing, and not a whole lot has happened. I'm finally starting to get back on my feet money wise, which is always nice. It feels good to not have to worry how I'm going to pay my next bill or if I'll have enough money to buy cigarettes or put gas in my car. I've also finally gotten in contact with someone at UWM to work out monthly payments for my past due tuition. I'm also applying for an alternative loan, so if I get that I can ideally be going back to school by fall semester. I know that makes a lot of people happy, myself included. What is this crazy notion people seem to have about me being talented and having potential? I've got to tell you, I don't really see it. I'm really happy that everyone comes home in about two weeks. It should be real hilarious and fun as always. Like usual we're going to make more plans than we can possibly keep. But if we didn't do that, it just wouldn't be us. Anyway, here's my update for the month. I'll most likely update in the new year with a very thoughtful reflective entry.
