Another Fairytale That Will Never Be

I think your scale is broken Either that or mine. Im only a half pence when I weigh myself in, or has the value changed over time. Its like a rose thats been wilted, petals torn to shreds, yet you still see beauty in a flower not quite dead. My heart is confused peeking through the wrong end of a looking glass, through all the pain I cry when I really should laugh. The irony is just too much, its nothing I can understand. When the bullet goes to hit, and I realize there's no gun in my hand. Your holding back the hammer, you look into my eyes. I see a cold dark wall, and something that almost resembles a shimmer of light. It makes no sense to me, how you can see the potential of a bad seed, I'll never bloom into a tree, but the way you look at me. A half pence is just too much, but you pay a bag of gold, just to see me smile, when will reality unfold.

Awareness is much different than reasoned understanding - Awareness accepts in it's supple genius, creative in application; understanding is a soldier for ego that yearns to possess - all beauty seeks to rescue and to be rescued - I like the struggle and introspection in this poem Jay - liked re-reading it so much I couldn't stop myself from rambling :J - J.A.B. %

Perhaps the reality is weighed in degrees of potential, and the desires of 'bad seeds' still have a voice worth knowing - what is Reality but a basin of opportunities giddy for adoption by our imaginations & needs - theres a beautiful maturity to this write Jay - and being fascinated by economics your analogy is especially appealing - J.A.B. %
