~Step~

I'm wild
but still
I'm tethered
to the
ground waiting
to become
a butterfly
suspended in mid air
please don't
wake me now

all these
possible epiphany's
trying to
be patient, kind
I've just been
so distracted

hurry up
but also
forget the
urgency
so many
people come and go

one more
day one
more step
to take

lay your
head down
on me
all the
pretty chaos
doesn't exist
anymore all
that glitters
isn't gold
