Butterfly Wings

Must we look at the world from an adult view
seeing all that is wrong?
Or should we reside in our childhood
on the beating wings of birds?
Or are we to let it slip away
on fleeting butterfly wings?

Asylum

The Asylum of her mind
is a dark and twisted thing.
Full of hate and pain
no one understands it.
It's gates are the strongest,
nothing can get past them.
Reinforced with steel,
lined with rock, sorrow, and rage.
Hate and pain are the padding in her room,
Where she sits oh, so patiently.
Mummering to herself so peacefully.
Her father comes to see her.
She see's his face 
and her eyes begin to blaze.
Hate flares, and she begins to scream hate filled things.
I tried to tell you she yells.
I tried to warn you.
But you just wouldn't listen.
I told you something was wrong.
Now look at me.
Look at me in my Asylum.

Roses

Roses and hugs go dark,
blackened out by lies and hate.
Love is forgotten,
the screaming begins.
Old mistakes are brought up.
Secrets brought up.
Hate is out in the open.

Darkness

Darkness comes and darkness goes.
Or is it here to stay?
A new dawn comes accompanying the day.
Yet still the darkness lingers on.
